Research Software in Psychology
Delve into the intersection of research software and psychology at the upcoming RSE meeting, where laboratory research technicians with backgrounds in experimental psychology, psycholinguistics, and behavioral economics will explore potential central support needs. This event will focus on the scientific approach to studying social, mental, and behavioral phenomena in psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience through various methodologies such as qualitative and quantitative analysis, experimental studies, corpus analysis, surveying, interviews, content analysis, and computational psychology.

Research Software in Experimental Psychology What tools are used to build this tasks? Base Language Python MATLAB E-Basic JavaScript C# Tool PsychoPy , OpenSesame, oTree Psychtoolbox E-Prime JSPsych, Qualtrics, lab.js, OSweb Unity3D, Godot
What I do Lab support Support choosing programming environment Offer training in programming Troubleshooting coding issues Write custom code for specific functions Identify research tools
What I would like to do Better support in Computational Psychology Better support in data analysis Learn and extend good coding practices Connect the members of the department with available resources
Potential wider RSE needs Hosting & managing a server HPC (more for computational psychology and data analysis) Further training Navigating IDG permissions and keeping up to date with software
