Research Summary

Neuroscience methods

I also have a strong interest in how we optimally study the brain and behaviour. This led me to create the free software package for behavioural science, PsychoPy and the experiment repository Pavlovia.org

Initially developed just for my lab, PsychoPy has become a very popular package with tens of thousands of users from all over the world. See PsychoPy usage stats for further details.
