I also consider different ways of handling trials. It really only consists of an experiment template which you can use to copy-paste useful bits from and which easily extends to more complicated situations. This will build on the skills learned during day 1 and 2 to build a full experiment with intro dialogue box, multiple conditions, precise stimulus delivery, saving data, etc. A brief introductory code example on collecting key responses using the iohub module rather than the event module.There’s also some examples of good and (common) bad practices for timing and a rescue script in case your system does not sync to the monitor’s update intervals. Code and exercises on the exact timing of visual and auditory stimuli.We with code and exercises that introduces some of the most common psychopy stimuli and present them using visual angle for size and how to do isoluminant colors using the DKL colorspace.All the following topics for this day are complemented by some slides which show the underlying theory and summarises best practices.This section of the course is dedicated to the prevention of common pitfalls. This contains code and guides on how to control stimulus appearance and timing. Follow this introduction and exercises on python basics for psychopy coding.See the motivational presentation on why psychopy is great.Follow the Getting started guide to install psychopy and an editor.This is all about setting up a good development environment and get your python skills up to speed. They should make it a breeze to write up your next experiment. The full copy- and paste ready course materials are available on the course’s github page. Two particularly useful products of this course is the ppc.py helper module and the experimental template, which concludes the course. at your fingertips, just an “import” away. Finally, since PsychoPy is called from Python, you have the full power equivalent to MATLAB, R, etc. In addition, I think that PsychoPy encourages you to get better visual timing and total control of your experiment. Notably it’s free and cross-platform, making it easy to get started and to collaborate. PsychoPy has a number of advantages over E-Prime and Presentation.
