- More information
- External resources
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
