✨ Version 3.0 ✨

Version 3 introduction

  • This massive update includes a brand new DSL version that vastly improves how you can write your experiments. We included a new tutorial and plenty of examples and reference material to get you up and running.
    • The structure of your experiment is changed to allow more flexible combinations of stimulus and response options, while resorting to smart defaults for easy usage.
    • Syntax checking is here! If your experiment contains any syntactic or semantic errors, you will be notified and informed on how to correct this.
    • There is a new Live Editor that allows you to easily test your experiment script, side-by-side with the actual experiment.
    • Many more improvements! We're happy to hear your feedback.

You can opt-in to this new DSL version when creating a new experiment.
DSL version 2 is still available, see the Archive for more detail.
