Summary
Psychology
Debian Med packages for psychology

This metapackage contains dependencies for a collection of software which might be helpful for psychological research.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Med Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Med which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Med mailing list

De acuerdo con sus autores, praat es «hacer fonética con la máquina». A través de su interfaz gráfica,están disponibles algunas funcionalidades de análisis de voz : espectogramas, cocleogramas y afinación y extracción de formantes. También están disponibles tanto síntesis articulatoria como síntesis de afinación, formantes e intensidad. Otras funciones son segmentación, etiquetado utilizando el alfabeto fonético y cálculo de estadísticas. Praat es configurable y extensible a través de su propio lenguaje para elaborar scripts y comunicarse con otros programas.

Psignifit allows fitting of psychometric functions to datasets while maintaining full control over a large number of parameters. Data can either be read from text files or passed through a pipe.

Psignifit performs the calculation of confidence intervals as well as goodness-of-fit tests.

This is the command line version.

PsychoPy proporciona un entorno para la creación de estímulos psicológicos utilizando Python como lenguaje de programación. PsychoPy combina la fortaleza gráfica de OpenGL con la facilidad de la sintaxis de Python para dar a la psicofísica una presentación de estímulos y gestor de paquetes sencillos y gratuitos.

El objetivo es proporcionar, al ocupado científico, herramientas para el control del tiempo y las ventanas y un sencillo conjunto de estímulos y métodos preempaquetados. Sus características son

  • Lenguaje de programación de alto nivel (Python)
  • Sintaxis sencilla
  • Uso de aceleración gráfica (OpenGL)
  • Integración con Spectrascan PR650 para calibración de monitorización sencilla
  • Rutinas sencillas para usar métodos de estímulo experimentales variantes y constantes
  • Sencillas (o complejas) interfaces a través de wxPython
  • Interfaces sencillas para mandos de juego, ratón, tarjetas de sonido, etc. a través de PyGame
  • Reproduce películas (MPG, DivX, AVI, QuickTime...) como estímulo

PyEPL is a stimuli delivery and response registration toolkit to be used for generating psychology (as well as neuroscience, marketing research, and other) experiments.

It provides

  • presentation: both visual and auditory stimuli
  • responses registration: both manual (keyboard/joystick) and sound (microphone) time-stamped
  • sync-pulsing: synchronizing your behavioral task with external acquisition hardware
  • flexibility of encoding various experiments due to the use of Python as a description language
  • fast execution of critical points due to the calls to linked compiled libraries

This toolbox is here to be an alternative for a widely used commercial product E'(E-Prime)

This package provides PyEPL for supported versions of Python.
