Replicating an eye tracking experiment in my research methods course this semester, so I built an integration for Tobii systems. This works for any of the Tobii Pro hardware, and, with the right SDK install, older hardware too. We're running an X3-120 with it. Feedback welcome!
Two days left to donate to Children Helping Science with 1-to-1 matches from an anonymous donor up to $100K!

For fun: 1 repost = 1 citation to a paper with data from Children Helping Science/Lookit!
You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.
This is a fundraising post!
An anonymous donor is matching contributions to Children Helping Science up to 100K through the end of the year - if it's in your giving budget, please consider supporting open science infrastructure!

It's the second Tuesday of the month, which means I'm doing drop-in office hours for #jspsych support on our discord. 10:30-11:30 EDT.

Not quite yet, at least not in easily usable form. But happy to share preliminary results with anyone interested.
Today from 5-6 ET / 2-3 PT, Becky Gilbert is going to host an open office hour for help with jsPsych. Becky is a software engineer for Children Helping Science. Did you know that you can now use jsPsych to build studies that run on CHS (formerly Lookit)?
Either way, it is something to look into and provide guidance about how to speed things up.
What did you use to download the files from OSF?
This is helpful feedback. I think it is a number of files issue. I have some large files (>GB) on OSF that I download into reproducible notebooks and they download quickly. I think the API is slow with processing files in parallel. I don't know if that's a limitation of the server or client.
Really enjoyed getting to participate in open source development with the team from COS! Pretty soon, you'll be able to connect an OSF component to DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) directly through your OSF account.
doing live office hours in 10 minutes! drop by with any jspsych questions and I'll do my best to assist.
We've just
launched a Discord server for #jsPsych users to collaborate and get technical help.
I'll be hosting office hours tomorrow from 10:30-11:30 AM EDT. Hop in with any questions!

What will happen with API requests made during the downtime?
the important question here is what kind of dinosaurs
I created DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) in part to make it possible to host online experiments for free. The docs give an example of how to host for free on github and use datapipe to send data to the OSF.
Application review begins on 10/1; still time to apply!
We are running a virtual hackathon for #hacktober! Info and signup here: jspsych.github.io/hackathon/virtual_2025.html
We will be hosting drop in office hours help during the hackathon, so this is a great chance to level up your jspsych skills!
Don't worry academics, it's still only August 32nd. Still plenty of time!
~10hrs per 1hr in class for a lecture-heavy class. probably more like 3:1 for a seminar style class.

Representing @vassar.bsky.social at #cogsci2025. My favorite part of the conference was catching up with all these amazing alums!
Vassar College is hiring a tenure track assistant professor in cognitive science. vassar.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Vassar...
I'll be at #CogSci2025 - happy to chat about the position and life at Vassar.
Heading to #CogSci2025 🥳
Is there a good explainer on this point that I could use for teaching? Thinking carefully about how to communicate this for intro cogsci students.

This was a big undertaking, and @anjames2.bsky.social, @ryskin.bsky.social and Josh Hartshorne all pitched in to help plan, analyze, and report the work. Super grateful for wonderful collaborators to do this with. I don't think this project would have made it to publication without Ariel's heroics.
This project started in Spring 2021, in my research methods class. Normally my class does replications of EEG studies (e.g., doi.org/10.1525/coll... & doi.org/10.15626/MP....), but in Spring 2021 we had to do the class remotely. So we tackled online eye tracking instead.
