Python is a free, flexible and easy-to-use programming language. It has become a very popular tool in many fields of research, including cognitive science. Along with the PsychoPy add-on, Python can be used to create psychophysical experiments. In this course, students will learn the basics of how to use Python and PsychoPy. The main part of the course concerns Python itself, and covers writing basic commands, manipulating numbers and text, reading and writing data files, and gathering data from the internet. The final part of the course concerns creating experiments with PsychoPy. Classes will be based around practical demonstrations and tasks. No previous knowledge of Python or other programming languages is assumed; the course is aimed at complete beginners. By the end of the course, students should have the necessary skills to program and run a simple visual experiment with Python, and to save, manipulate and display the resulting data. |
