PsyToolkit is a set of tools that help you to do the following:

• Run cognitive psychological experiments on a computer. PsyToolkit comes with many examples, for example stimulus-response compatibility, visual search, Fitt's law, and more.
• Use this web site to demonstrate and teach about psychological experiments. Lessons can be used for free, and have "runnable" demonstrations with simple explanations and links for further reading.
• Program your own psychological experiments (this requires some training and experience, but all documentation is on the web site).
  • You can program experiments from within the website, and even run them from within the website.
  • Alternatively, you can install the Linux Desktop version. This option is for professionals working in a psychological/cognitive laboratories. When using Linux, your experiments will run with higher timing precision necessary for certain types of experiments. Further, special hardware, such a Cedrus keyboards or digital IO cards, is supported. Read more....
