jsPsych

Do you run #behavioural #psychology #experiments? Have you tried creating #JavaScript experiments with jsPsych but for stumped by all the coding needed? I've been working on Tachisto, a #jsPsych builder that should require little or no code. Give it a go and let me know! www.capro.dev/tachisto/

We'll have a full set of jsPsych integrations ready at launch, including a technique to estimate camera latency and remove the offset from the eye tracking timestamps.

DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) is ready for its post-OSF life. You can use it as before to save data from online experiments, but now the data can be sent to Zenodo, Google Drive, or a Dataverse instance. Existing OSF connections work until 11/16 I took this opportunity to do some major updates...

A pre-release version of DataPipe's new storage provider system is ready for testing. If anyone would like to help beta test it I'd love to have some extra eyes looking it over. It is deployed to a sandbox right now so you would just need to go to a provided URL and try things out.

With the upcoming changes to OSF, DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) is migrating to a multi-backend model. We're currently developing support for Zenodo, Dataverse, and Google Drive. If there are other providers that you'd like to see as options please get in touch.

Response duration tracking is now an option in jsPsych 8.3.0. Decide whether to trigger responses on key press (current default) or wait for key release to get both initial response time and response duration. We handle edge cases like multiple keys being pressed and tabbing away from the browser.

We just released an integration for Tobii eye tracking systems 👀 github.com/jspsych/tobi...

js-mEye: An extension and plugin for the measurement of pupil size in the online platform jsPsych BehResM

It's the second Tuesday of the month, which means I'm doing drop-in office hours for #jspsych support on our discord. 10:30-11:30 EDT. discord.gg/RCKWJ4qb3p

Supervising a Psychology student creating an online #mousetracking experiment with #jsPsych - showing videos and asking participants to choose left or right. If you’ve worked on something similar and are happy to share a code template or know of good resources, we’d really appreciate it! 🙂

We've just launched a Discord server for #jsPsych users to collaborate and get technical help. I'll be hosting office hours tomorrow from 10:30-11:30 AM EDT. Hop in with any questions! discord.gg/RCKWJ4qb3p

We are running a virtual hackathon for #hacktober! Info and signup here: jspsych.github.io/hackathon/virtual_2025.html We will be hosting drop in office hours help during the hackathon, so this is a great chance to level up your jspsych skills!

This uses WebGazer + jsPsych to test the viability of online eye tracking in five case studies.

Very cool to have been involved with this, such a great opportunity to learn about contributing to open source software! ⌨️

At Grand Central in NYC on the last leg of my Seattle WA -> Poughkeepsie NY trip to attend the @jspsych.org hackathon. Exciting!!! I'd love to hear what you think we should be working on. What is jsPsych missing? What are the pain points?

jspsych will soon* support generating psych-ds metadata automatically from an experiment timeline. we have done most of the implementation and are ironing out the final details. *probably summer 2025

We're hosting a hackathon in May! This is aimed at jsPsych users who want to learn how to contribute to open source software and extend jsPsych. It's free, and we'll cover travel expenses. Learn more and sign up here: jspsych.github.io/hackathon/sp...

If anyone needs a Visual Pattern Task (VPT) for jsPsych experiments, I have a work-in-progress. Feel free to try it out and reach out if you need more customisations or data out of it. #research #jspsych #workingmemory stoosepp.com/13022025/jsp...

Announcing a big update to Terracotta: Your LMS course site just became an open laboratory. 🔬 Terracotta now integrates Qualtrics surveys, jsPsych studies, and custom web activities directly in graded LMS assignments. Deploy matrix surveys, measure behavior, test AI tools—right in your course site.

We've launched a newsletter to provide updates on development, spotlight community projects, and share information on events like live workshops and hackathons. You can subscribe here: www.jspsych.org/latest/newsl... We anticipate sending no more than 1-2 emails a month.

Re-advertising a tool we created some time ago for rating, sorting and comparing audio samples in the browser. It can be used as a jspsych plugin for online behavioral experiments. Check the repository: github.com/pwdonh/audio_tokens 🧵

Follow us for announcements about jsPsych, like our upcoming in-person hackathon. We'll be funding travel for folks to come and learn how to contribute to the jsPsych ecosystem. More info soon!
