B2: Introduction to Python and PsychoPy

J Peirce

Nottingham University, United Kingdom

This tutorial will introduce the basics of how to use PsychoPy and Python for visual neuroscience. PsychoPy is open-source, platform independent, easy to install and learn and provides an extremely flexible platform for running experiments. It has the unique advantage of both a scripting interface (similar to Psychtoolbox but using the Python language) and a graphical interface requiring little or no programming (ideal for teaching environments and simpler experiments). This tutorial will get you started with both interfaces, and show how the two can be used together by building a basic experiment visually and then customizing it with code. If possible, bring along a laptop with PsychoPy installed and we can make it more of an interactive workshop, with live exercises.
