We've been going green: got a 2nd hand EV (an MG ZS) and love it! Also got solar panels and battery, so now I'm in that mode of constantly checking to see how much it's charging! (Mostly just because of the novelty). Will update soon on how it's going, but good so far 😎

Using code for experiments and stimuli is a great visual way to learn. I learned the majority of python from experiment design. 📚🐍 Very happy to have been part of this book with @dalmaijer.bsky.social @peircej.bsky.social

New webcam based eye tracking demos!👀 You can use js packages in your Pavlovia experiment, including webgazer.js You can also update stimuli frame-by-frame based on gaze 🧐 This demo measures dwell times on faces.. Try it: https://buff.ly/42xspnQ View the code: https://buff.ly/4g9LlMW

That feeling when you realise your bike has a puncture... and you're still 2 miles from work 😒

🎥 Did you know that you can present YouTube videos in your Pavlovia Survey?🎥 Use an "Image" question type and use "YouTube" content mode. OR Use "html" question type and provide the html for an iframe. Take a look at the demo here https://buff.ly/3WrSSj4

[just for GitHub Actions peeps] I'm shocked to find myself thinking about switching to powershell for cross-platform devops scripts!! ...

There is still time to sign up for the last two online👩‍💻workshops of this outstanding series taught by the excellent @hirstrj.bsky.social and Kimberley Dundas. The first one centers around presenting stimuli and collecting responses, the second one focuses on using eye tracking in PsychoPy builder📈.

For anyone using @psychopy.bsky.social and #pavlovia, I created a proof-of-concept demo for using the "shelf" system to do synchronous multiplayer experiments: discourse.psychopy.org/t/online-mul...

Can you guess what task I'm making?

Every few years I go back and try using Ubuntu for all my work. Every time I've done this it got a bit easier but I always end up going back to MacOS. Today's the day I try again...

Feeling so good to be back in St Andrews (my alma mater) after so many years. Such a gorgeous place to be ❤️ And looking forward to our School of Psychology and Neuroscience seminar and workshop tomorrow 😃

@peircej.bsky.social looking very happy about the cake stop en route to St Andrews 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Very important fuel for our @psychopy.bsky.social workshop tomorrow 🧐

We recently shared a blogpost on the use of GUIs vs coding for creating experiments. https://buff.ly/3Y8xIGP We advocate for use of a GUI ... however we also run workshops on how to code experiments from scratch in #python - why to we still teach coding from scratch?

✨ New shiny pop-up booth!! All ready for #psynom2024✨ Note to selves: Test the giant booth in a bigger room next time.....

📏 You can use a range of spatial units in #PsychoPy. ↕️ We use "height" units as default as this will mean stimuli scale proportionally to the screen you are using. 🖥️ If you are using one monitor in the lab and want to use another unit, make sure to configure your monitor centre.

Due to popular demand, we will be repeating our virtual PsychoPy workshops - starting next week! If you, or someone you know is looking to get started with the basics of PsychoPy, please share this link to sign up! https://buff.ly/421cfkt #psychopy #pavlovia #psychology #neuroscience #research

Still looking for a few more vision scientists' thoughts on this survey about the distinction between "low", "mid" and "high level" vision. Many thanks to those who have taken it!

Our next workshop (sampled from our 3 day course) will take place next Thursday. Coding Experiments in from Scratch Using Python (1.5 hours) Book your tickets here 👇 https://buff.ly/421cfkt
