expyriment¶
A Python library for cognitive and neuroscientific experiments.
Expyriment is an open-source and platform independent light-weight Python library for designing and conducting timing-critical behavioural and neuroimaging experiments. The major goal is to provide a well-structured Python library for a script-based experiment development with a high priority on the readability of the resulting programme code. It has been tested extensively under Linux and Windows.
Expyriment is an all-in-one solution, as it handles the stimulus presentation, recording of I/O events, communication with other devices and the collection and preprocessing of data. It offers furthermore a hierarchical design structure, which allows an intuitive transition from the experimental design to a running programme. It is therefore also suited for students as well as experimental psychologists and neuroscientists with little programming experience.
