Programming Experiments in Python and PsychoPy3

This is a basic introduction to the programming language Python and the software package PsychoPy3, which contains a number of functions for building cognitive science experiments. It is especially designed for teaching Experimental Methods I at the BSc program in Cognitive Science at Aarhus University, Denmark.

It is written by [Kristian Tylén](http://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/kristian-tylen(9950d8bc-e1cd-400a-a547-359cd0b07157.html) and Christina Evans, but many of the programming examples are inspired by other tutorials, introductions and online sources.

Feel free to use this book in any way you want. If you find mistakes or have suggestions for modifications or examples you are welcome to contact Kristian ([email protected]).

The Gitbook is mainly thought as a practical introduction to Python programming, but it is our ambition to also cover some of the conceptual background of various experimental procedures and tools along the way. It is very much a project in continuous development and we only hope to complete it through the next couple of years.
