What problem does it solve?

PsychoPy experiment workflows can become error-prone when you need to plan routines, stimuli, event/response logging, and cross-tool handoffs without breaking timing or assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Experiment design guidance: Plan PsychoPy Builder concepts such as routines, trial structure, stimuli, responses, triggers, and task logging.
  • Safe workflow planning: Identify what to check before suggesting commands, and clarify what should be treated as planning/inspection rather than heavy execution.
  • Cross-modality handoff support: Help connect behavioral outputs to downstream analysis workflows (e.g., EEG/fMRI) by translating what needs to be logged.

Quick Start

Use the psychopy skill when you have a description of your PsychoPy experiment (Builder files, routines/trials, or expected logging columns) and you want a structured plan for stimulus/response handling and what to verify before running or exporting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure PsychoPy Builder routines and trial logging for a behavioral experiment?▼

To structure PsychoPy Builder experiments, you plan routines, trial sequences, stimuli, and response logging to ensure safe, well-organized behavioral outputs for downstream analysis.

What do I need to log in PsychoPy to prepare data for EEG or fMRI analysis?▼

Mapping behavioral outputs to EEG or fMRI analysis requires logging precise event triggers, trial structures, and response timestamps in PsychoPy to align with downstream neural data.

How do I plan PsychoPy stimuli and event handling without breaking experiment timing?▼

Planning PsychoPy stimuli and event handling involves verifying routine structures and safety cautions beforehand, treating workflow setup as documentation and inspection to prevent timing breaks.

Can I use this approach to design experiments for both behavioral responses and cross-modality handoffs?▼

This experiment design guidance supports both behavioral response handling and cross-modality handoffs by translating task descriptions into structured plans for triggers and logging columns.

What are the limitations of planning PsychoPy experiments as a structured workflow?▼

The limitation is that this approach focuses on documentation, workflow planning, and safety inspection rather than executing heavy processing or making direct file assumptions during the experiment.
