PsychoPy_Setup

PsychoPy is a Python-based open source application that allows us to build experiments with the choice of either its simple graphic interface or coding. The lab has been using PsychToolbox in MATLAB, but as it is no longer being maintained, we are shifting towards using PsychoPy for future work.

Some advantages of using PsychoPy are...

1. the codes are more sharable to public because the codes are written in Python
2. its graphic interface allows one to potentially build experiments with minimum lines of code
3. it is currently building an online version Pavlovia, which would add greater flexibility in the future

The lab is currently using version 1.90.3, and refer below to get started with the process!
