One of the great things with programming is that you can automate things that is boring. For instance, as a student I often got schedules in the form of Word documents. I prefer to have all my activities in a digital calendar and used to manually enter every class, seminar, and so on from a […]

In this video you learn how to create a Flanker task using the Python package Expyriment. If you don’t know Expyriment it is an open-source library. You can program your experiments and run on Linux, Windows, and OS-x computers and Android devices. In the tutorial you will get familiar with Expyriment and get to create

Inspired by my post for the JEPS Bulletin (Python programming in Psychology), where I try to show how Python can be used from collecting to analyzing and visualizing data, I have started to learn more data exploring techniques for Psychology experiments (e.g., response time and accuracy). Here are some methods, using Python, for visualization of

Python is gaining popularity in many fields of science. This means that there also are many applications and libraries specifically for use in Psychological research. For instance, there are Python packages for collecting data, doing basic statistics, and analyzing brain imaging data. In this post, I have collected some useful Python packages for researchers within

In this post, I will describe, shortly, how to use InLine scripts in E-prime to save your data in comma-separated values (CSV) files. For those who are not familiar with E-prime, it is an experiment generating software based on visual basic (i.e., it has its own scripting language called e-basic). Its main purpose is to

PsychoPy, as I have previously written about (e.g., Free and Useful Software and PsychoPy tutorial) is really a great Python tool for creating Psychology experiments. You can write Python code by either using “code view” or importing the package in your favorite IDE. Furthermore, you can use the builder mode and just drag and drop different

Previously I have shown how to analyze data collected using within-subjects designs using rpy2 (i.e., R from within Python) and Pyvttbl. In this post I will extend it into a factorial ANOVA using Python (i.e., Pyvttbl). In fact, we are going to carry out a Two-way ANOVA but the same method will enable you to

In an earlier post, I showed four different techniques that enable a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Python. Now, in this Python data analysis tutorial, we are going to learn how to do two-way ANOVA for independent measures using Python. First, we are going to learn how to calculate the ANOVA table “by hand”.

In this Python data analysis tutorial, we will focus on how to carry out between-subjects ANOVA in Python. As mentioned in an earlier post (Repeated measures ANOVA with Python) ANOVAs are commonly used in Psychology. We start with a brief introduction to the theory of ANOVA. If you are more interested in the four methods

In this post, you will learn how to carry out a repeated measures ANOVA in Python. A standard method in experimental psychology is within-subjects designs. One way to analysis the data collected using within-subjects designs is using repeated measures ANOVA. I recently wrote a post on how to conduct a repeated measures ANOVA using Python
