bmlTUX

bmlTUX enables design and execution of virtual reality experiments in the Unity game engine for vision and perception research.

Key Features:

• Experimental control: Controls experimental parameters and trial execution within Unity for virtual reality experiments.
• Combinatorial design automation: Automates combinatorics for multifactorial experimental designs to generate condition combinations.
• Counterbalancing and randomization: Performs counterbalancing and randomization of conditions and trial order.
• Mixed-design support: Supports mixed experimental designs combining within-subject and between-subject factors.
• Blocking: Implements blocking of trial order for block-structured experiments.
• Iterative design management: Supports iterative testing of design configurations and reverting to previous setups.

Scientific Applications:

• Vision and perception experiments in VR: Implements virtual reality experiments in Unity to investigate vision and perception phenomena.
• Multifactorial experimental designs: Applies to studies requiring automated combinatorics, counterbalancing, and randomization across multiple factors.
• Behavioral experiments with mixed and blocked designs: Facilitates behavioral research using mixed designs and blocked trial structures implemented in Unity-based VR.

Methodology:

Computational methods explicitly include automated combinatorics, counterbalancing, randomization, support for mixed designs, and blocking of trial order within the Unity engine.
