Psyscope

Psyscope is a stimulus presentation programming system for the conduct of experiments in psychology that runs on the Macintosh computer. It was developed by a consortium of users coordinated by Brian MacWhinney and Jonathan Cohen at Carnegie Mellon University, with financial support from a number of other researchers and academic institutions. MacWhinney and Cohen have generously made the current version of PsyScope available to the teaching and research community at no charge.

PsyScope is an integrated package for the conducting of experiments commonly performed in the field of cognitive psychology. PsyScope is designed to facilitate experimental creation, and includes among other features the ability to control visual and auditory stimuli. Behavioral data collected with psyscope can be analyzed using AFNI or other fMRI processing software which is an advantage for labs using only mac based computers. It is also heavy in GUI which can be advantageous for those psychology graduate students who don't have much programming experience.
