In this category you will find posts that are related to programming and should be interesting for psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. Well, almost every researcher would probably find some of the information useful at some time!

Every research psychologist, cognitive scientist, and neuroscientist, should know how to program.. Knowing how to program and write scripts will make many of a researchers everyday tasks much easier. For instance, instead of going through line after line of raw data you can write a Python script that runs through each cell in each column. Furthermore, you get the possibility to use more advanced, and cutting edge, statistical techniques by using R statistical programming environment.

Another example might be to create experiments using PsychoPy (either by coding using Python or using the drag-and-drop interface) and the cheap and open-source Arduino microcontroller. Also, coding is fun and relaxing!

Levene’s & Bartlett’s Test of Equality (Homogeneity) of Variance in Python

Leave a Comment / Programming, Python /

In this Python tutorial, you will learn how to 1) perform Bartlett’s Test, and 2) Levene’s Test. Both are tests that are testing the assumption of equal variances. Equality of variances (also known as homogeneity of variance, and homoscedasticity) in population samples is assumed in commonly used comparison of means tests, such as Student’s t-test […]

Pandas Convert Column to datetime – object/string, integer, CSV & Excel

Leave a Comment / Programming, Python /

In Pandas, you can convert a column (string/object or integer type) to datetime using the to_datetime() and astype() methods. Furthermore, you can also specify the data type (e.g., datetime) when reading your data from an external source, such as CSV or Excel.  In this Pandas tutorial, we will learn how to convert a column, containing
