Auditory Psychophysics with Python and Psychopy - (Video 0 Setting up)

Описание: In this series we will make a python program to conduct an auditory psychophysics experiment.To do these experiments we will also use psychopy to control what the subjects sees and to control the sound stimulus.

We will base our experiments very loosely on a research paper by Tan et al. (2008) (doi: 10.1016/j.heares.2008.04.003) for which I was a participant.

Simply put, we will randomly present a sound in one of two time windows and ask our subject to press a key depending on which of these two windows they think they heard the sound. During the course of this video series, we will use the subjects responses to change the intensity (volume) of the sound. If they get it ‘correct’ twice in a row we will reduce the sound intensity, if they get it wrong, we will increase the sound intensity.

This approach is called a 2(down)-1(up) method. All this will be explained more fully in the upcoming videos.

So, join me here in this video playlist as we begin to make a standard auditory psychophysics experiment from scratch.

Disclaimer.
This is not designed to be a complete python programming course, however it will be necessary to touch on different aspects of python programming as we learn to generate and create a psychophysics experiment.
