Building Experiments in PsychoPy
Autor Jonathan Peirce, Rebecca Hirst, Michael MacAskillen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2022
Divided into three parts and with unique extension exercises to guide you at whatever level you are at, this textbook is the perfect tool for teaching practical undergraduate classes on research methods, as well as acting as a comprehensive reference text for the professional scientist.
Essential reading for anyone using PsychoPy software, the second edition has been fully updated and includes multiple new chapters about features included in recent versions of PsychoPy, including running studies online and collecting survey data.
Part I teaches you all the basic skills you need (and some more advanced tips along the way) to design experiments in behavioral sciences. Each chapter introduces anew concept but will offer a series of working experiments that you can build on.
Part II presents more details important for professional scientists intending to use PsychoPy for published research. This part is recommended reading for science professionals in any discipline.
Part III covers a range of specialist topics, such as those doing fMRI research, or those studying visual perception.
“This book fills an incredibly important gap in the field. Many users of PsychoPy will be excited to learn that there is now a highly accessible and well-designed written guide to refine their skills.” – Susanne Quadflieg, University of Bristol

Recenzii
In ye olden days when I was a student, we had to script our experiments, which was tedious and error-prone, or use proprietary software, which was expensive and inflexible. This is why I love PsychoPy Builder, and Building Experiments in PsychoPy is a great resource for today‘s budding experimenters.

Notă biografică
Jonathan Peirceis Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Nottingham, with a background in visual neuroscience and a particular interest in research methods. For his research, Jon needed precise (and dynamic) stimulus presentations. For teaching psychology undergraduates about research methods, he needed software that was intuitive enough for them to understand. The combination of these needs (and his generally geekiness) caused Jon gradually to create PsychoPy. Happily, many people have got on board with the project and it grew.
When he isn¿t designing experiments, writing software or trying to teach students to be awesome scientists, Jon can be found walking his dog, playing with his daughter or making unpleasant noises on a guitar.
