PsychoPy easily integrates with R, matlab, and HTML. E-prime uses visual basic (boo) and PsychoPy uses Python (yay). Students learn it more easily (see data below). The experiment isnt synced up with anything online, so you will be prompted to create. Why Keeping track of who has the e-prime dongle is annoying. Heres the button to press on Psychopy that will let you do both.

These are independant of what we can currently control from PsychoPy, which means that if you have made your experiment using MouseGaze, then move to the lab with the EyeLink and change the eyetracker to SR Research the instructions that you see at the start of the calibration may appear a little different to what you were expecting! I highly recommend PsychoPy over E-prime. Sometimes different eyetracking systems will have their own set of “screens” or “protocols” that they present. If you have trouble connecting at this phase you will want to trouble shoot by searching the returned error message. You can check the connection by opening the command prompt/terminal on the experiment computer and typing ping 100.1.1.1 if the connection is successful you will see that the pings are successfully returned.

You may know me from my popular YouTube tutorial series for PsychoPy (or my Super Science Bros. I am a professor of Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.

It is a free alternative to E-prime and Presentation, and is based on Python. Let Me Help You With Your Experiment Hello, my name is Dr. In your PsychoPy Experiment Settings > Eyetracking ensure you have SR Research selected, in the IP address use 100.1.1.1 (the IP of the host computer).īefore any communication can happen between the eyetracker and your experiment, the two computers must be connected via an ethernet cable and you need to check the two devices can communicate with one another. PsychoPy is an open-source application that allows you to set up and run experiments where stimuli are presented on a computer screen in order to collect physiological or behavioural responses from participants.

When setting up your EyeLink you will first need to make sure you have the following set up:Īn “Experiment” computer (this is the computer the experiment is run on) - set the IP address of this computer to 100.1.1.2Ī “Host” computer (this is the computer where the EyeLink software runs) - set the IP address of this computer to 100.1.1.1
