How it works

A session is designed to take four steps, from opening the box to analysing the data. The instruments and software are in development.

A session, step by step

Set up
Connect the device to a laptop by USB or Bluetooth, and open the software. Sensor ports plug in, so a practical does not start with wiring.
Run
Choose the protocol and start the task. The manual covers instructions, and consent templates are part of the protocol.
Capture
Follow live graphs while the participant works. Responses are recorded along with the signals the protocol calls for.
Export
Save time-stamped data and open it in SPSS, R or JASP, for analysis in the same practical or later.

We want departments to run, analyse and extend their own experiments, without depending on us.

Faculty development programmes
Setting up, teaching with and troubleshooting each instrument, along with the science behind its protocol.
Student workshops
Running an experiment end to end, reading the signals and analysing the data.

A link to the construct
Each protocol ties a sensor signal to a psychological construct, so students learn what they are measuring.
Instructions and norms
Instructions, scoring guidance and norms, as they become available through validation.
Validation before release
Every protocol is to be checked for reliability and validity before release. This is our process; none has completed it yet.
Ethics by design
Consent templates and privacy-aware data handling come with the protocol.

Tell us which practical you would like to run, and for how many students.
