Software for behavioural experiments

PsyNet

PsyNet is an ambitious attempt to enable psychologists to develop arbitrarily complex online experiments, including features such as online stimulus generation, media analysis, synchronous interaction between participants, simulated social networks, with an expressive yet parsimonious programming interface. It provides many useful features for music experiments, including audio pre-screeners, stimulus generators, and online recording analysis.

psychTestR

Our psychTestR software has been adopted by music laboratories across the world as a tool for testing individual differences in music psychology studies. A broad range of music listening tests (e.g. melody discrimination, beat perception, tuning perception, rhythm perception) and self-report measures (e.g. Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index, Home Music Environment, Flow Experience, Music Engagement) have been implemented in psychTestR, as well as a large number of non-musical performance tests and psychosocial questionnaires. These form the basis of several ongoing large-scale music testing initiatives, such as the LongGold schools project and the Harvard Musical IQ project. Learn more on the psychTestR website.
