When used on | PsychoPy is an alternative to Presentation, e-Prime and Inquisit. It is a Python library and application that allows presentation of stimuli and collection of data for a wide range of neuroscience, psychology and psychophysics experiments. When used on our [[Computers|lab computers]] and configured correctly, PsychoPy is guaranteed to be millisecond accurate. | ||
Note: TSG only provides support for Psychopy Coder, '''not''' Builder! Applications made with Builder can typically still run on our lab computers, but we won't be able to help troubleshooting beyond basic OS and hardware configuration. | |||

A default version of Psychopy has been installed in the root of the Python3. | A default version of Psychopy has been installed in the root of the Python3.10.11 64-bit version. This is also the default version when 'psychopy' is typed from the command prompt. It is also the default that opens when a .py file is double-clicked. It also can be started by clicking the appropriate icon on the desktop. One in a while, the default version is upgraded to a newer version. The older version is then still available in a virtualenv. And is available in the Windows Start Menu. | ||
