PsychoPy provides an environment for creating psychology stimuli using Python scripting language. It combines the graphical strengths of OpenGL with easy Python syntax to give psychophysics a free and simple stimulus presentation and control package.

The goal is to provide, for the busy scientist, tools to control timing and windowing and a simple set of pre-packaged stimuli and methods. PsychoPy features

• IDE GUI for coding in a powerful scripting language (Python)
• Builder GUI for rapid development of stimulation sequences
• Use of hardware-accelerated graphics (OpenGL)
• Integration with Spectrascan PR650 for easy monitor calibration
• Simple routines for staircase and constant stimuli experimental methods as well as curve-fitting and bootstrapping
• Simple (or complex) GUIs via wxPython
• Easy interfaces to joysticks, mice, sound cards etc. via PyGame
• Video playback (MPG, DivX, AVI, QuickTime, etc.) as stimuli
