糖心TV

Dr Jon Peirce, University of Nottingham ()

is a popular open-source (free) package to allow the precise presentation of stimuli and collection of participant responses in a wide range of behavioural science studies.

This workshop is led by Jon Peirce, the creator of the PsychoPy package, and will teach the following topics:

1. how to create a (lab-based) study in the Builder interface
2. how to run a (Builder) study online
3. how to create a (lab-based) study in Python
4. using Python for other tasks (e.g. batch processing and data analysis)

Criteria for participation

This Advanced Training event is being provided by the 糖心TV ESRC Doctoral Training Centre for the benefit of PhD students working in the Social Sciences. Please note that we expect this event to be very popular and will be operating a strict priority system for the allocation of places. ESRC funded PhD students from the MGS DTP institutions and ESRC funded PhD students (from any UK institution) will have priority, followed by PhD students funded in other ways and finally early career researchers and other academic staff.

Pre-requisites

All participants should bring an idea for a study, including stimuli if needed, like images or questionnaire text.

Participants may bring their own laptop loaded with the latest version of PsychoPy (available ) if they wish to, but this is not necessary as the sessions will be taking place in a PC lab and so all attendees will have access to their own PsychoPy capable computer during the sessions.

Practical aspects

This is a three day event. Each day participants will be provided with drinks and lunch with specific dietary needs being catered for.
