<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin-top:0px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.008px">Dear all,<br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We developed a free drag-and-drop graphic user interface for
Matlab Psychtoolbox (PTB) during the past two years, which we dubbed
PsyBuilder. <span style="color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The
builder allows users to graphically implement sophisticated experimental tasks
through intuitive drag-and-drop without any script. The output codes
have built-in optimized timing precision and come with detailed comments to
facilitate customization. </span>Using this drag and drop interface (similar to
E-prime), now it’s possible even for a newbie to build a full Matlab PTB script
within 10 mins. We believe that PsyBuilder will be useful for both experts and
novices because 1) it can drastically cut the programming time needed for
almost any experiment; 2) it will dramatically flatten the learning curve for
people without programming experience. Therefore, we believe that PsyBuilder
will make the PTB platform extremely accessible and help to expand the user
base.<span style="color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"></span></p><p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.008px">Now, we are so proud that our free cross-platform software Psybuilder is ready to use. The software can be downloaded from our brand new forum: <a href="https://www.psybuilder.com/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" style="background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none">https://www.psybuilder.com</a></p><p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.008px">Please see our just accepted paper in AMPPS for a detailed introduction and a brief tutorial about Psybuilder:</p><p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.008px">Lin, Z.C., Yang, Z., Feng, C.Z, Zhang, Y.*(2021), PsyBuilder: An open-source, cross-platform graphical experiment builder with built-in performance optimization for behavioral and neural sciences. Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science. Accepted and in press. Doi. 10.31234/<a href="http://osf.io/b43vx">osf.io/b43vx</a></p><p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15.008px">Best wishes!</p><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>-Yang</div><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">------------------------------------------------</font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Yang Zhang Ph.D. | Professor</span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Department of Psychology, </font><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Soochow University</span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><span style="font-size:12.8px;font-family:verdana,sans-serif">No.1 Wenjin Street, Industrial park</span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Suzhou, Jiangsu, 215123, China</span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br style="margin:0px;padding:0px"></font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">Email: <a href="mailto:yzhangpsy@suda.edu.cn" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);margin:0px;padding:0px" target="_blank">yzhangpsy@suda.edu.cn</a></font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">     Or: <a href="mailto:zhangyang873@gmail.com" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);margin:0px;padding:0px" target="_blank">zhangyang873@gmail.com</a></font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px">Lab website: <a href="http://web.suda.edu.cn/yzhangpsy/index.html" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://web.suda.edu.cn/yzhangpsy</a></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;line-height:19.5px"><font face="verdana, sans-serif">------------------------------------------------</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
