Brainhack Global 2022 Event

Brainhack Marseille

Project Description

Acquiring human behavioural data through the Internet is on the rise, especially since the COVID-19 events. Often most, researchers looking for a way to set up online experiments will find themselves either using a) complex and tool-specific paradigms or b) to develop their own web code to suit their specific needs. For this Brainhack project, we aim to develop a fast and flexible tool which would allow anyone to perform custom psychophysical investigations through the web. For their convenience, users will be generating their own stimuli locally, uploading them into a GitHub repo, and we will develop a tool which will allow reliable online procedures to be deployed using their stimuli.

Goals for Brainhack Global

• Develop Python code that allows to deploy psychophysical experiments with light requirements (python skills)
• Develop a server-side interface which parses GitHub repos to get experimental stimuli (javascript skills)
• Create simple 2 Alternative Forced Choice tasks (psychophysics skills)

Good first issues

• Parsing git repos to get stimuli
• Creating a web browser-based interface
• Generate RGPD compliant data parsing
