![]() However, when coding existing modules and methods in PsychoPy. I prefer to write scripts and not use a Builder. One of the features that I like most is that I can choose to write code or to use an experimental builder such as e-prime. Importantly, it can be run on Linux, OS-X, and Windows. ![]() Being Open Source also means that the software is free. PsychoPy’s website states that it is an open-source application that presents stimuli and collects data in experiments. It seemed like a good alternative to e-prime, and other similar software, to create experiments in.Įxample of importing PsychoPy modules and methods in Spyder. studies, I found PsychoPy, which is written in Python, a programming language that I did know. In fact, e-prime seemed to work best with Windows Vista or earlier, but our lab computers were, and are, running Windows 7 (which might have changed back then). Second, I prefer to use Linux systems, and e-prime is limited to Windows. ![]() studies, I got increasingly annoyed with one of the software we used to build experimental tasks in (i.e., E-prime).įirst, I was unfamiliar with the scripting language (called ‘e-basic’) that was needed, for instance, to solve pseudo-randomization and send signals to a specially built device I was going to use in my experiments. That is, some of the most commonly used software in the department I was studying at. ![]() When I started getting involved in research (i.e., when doing my Bachelor’s and Masters’s theses), I used the software that was accessible to me. This post will describe why I prefer using PsychoPy before other software. ![]()
