Available Software
DirectRT: DirectRT is a software developed by Empirisoft, designed for cognitive and perception tasks that require millisecond precision. DirectRT allows you to quickly create reaction-time tasks (i.e., IAT, Implicit Association Test) that require presenting sound, video, images, and text with precision.
PsychoPy: is an open-source application allowing you run a wide range of neuroscience, psychology and psychophysics experiments. It’s a free, powerful alternative to Presentation™ or e-Prime™, written in Python.
MATLAB Psychtoolbox: Psychophysics Toolbox Version 3 (PTB-3) is a free set of Matlab and GNU Octave functions for vision and neuroscience research.
Inquisit: Inquisit is used for creating experiments that require very precise measurements of response time. It is currently available as a pilot deployment only in the 6 breakout rooms, however we also have an online license. Those interested in using the online license should contact the Lab Manager at behavioralrs@Kellogg.northwestern.edu
Sona Systems: Sona Systems is subject pool administration platform that is maintained for behavioral research at Kellogg. There are two dashboards available for
1. In-Lab Studies
2. Online Studies
Qualtrics: Qualtrics is a web survey tool at Kellogg developed by Qualtrics and hosted by a third-party provider. Some of the main features of Qualtrics are 1) a question library with survey templates; 2) a custom survey design wizard; and 3) survey distribution options. Qualtrics supports survey-based experiments and features a block randomizer tool for experimental trials.
z-Tree: z-Tree (Zurich Toolbox for Readymade Economic Experiments) is a software package developed by Urs Fischbacher at the University of Zurich's Institute for Empirical Research in Economics to conduct economic experiments such as auctions, ultimatum games, prisoners' dilemma games, and trust games.
