PyParadigm

PyParadigm provides a declarative framework for constructing computer-based experimental paradigms in experimental psychology, enabling concise specification of 2D stimuli and task requirements.

Key Features:

• Declarative specification: Allows paradigms, stimuli, and task requirements to be described declaratively rather than imperatively.
• Pygame integration: Built on top of pygame to leverage its rendering and input-management capabilities.
• 2D display and interaction: Handles display and interaction with 2D objects and computer-generated stimuli.
• Subject-interactive tasks: Supports construction of paradigms where subjects interact with tasks and on-screen stimuli.
• Concise paradigm definitions: Enables specification of paradigms with reduced boilerplate code compared to traditional imperative approaches.
• Cross-domain applicability: Applicable to any research or development context that requires management of 2D objects and stimuli beyond experimental psychology.

Scientific Applications:

• Experimental psychology paradigms: Implementation of computer-based behavioral experiments in experimental psychology.
• Subject-interaction experiments: Design of tasks in which subjects interact with computer-generated stimuli and responses are recorded.
• 2D stimulus management in research: Use in research contexts requiring display and control of 2D objects and stimuli outside psychology.

Methodology:

Provides a declarative specification layer and uses pygame for 2D rendering and interaction with objects.
