Hi all:
We are developing labs that will provide hands-on activities
for our students in areas such as personality, social, learning,
neuroscience, and perception.
I have been looking without success for software to run simple
perception experiments. Such software was developed in the
early 2000s. For example, John Baro (2004, 2006) developed
a suite of simple experiments in his "Insight: A media lab." But
I can't find anything similar that will run on current operating
systems.
Does anyone know of current software programs that provide
canned perception experiments?
I haven't done much in this area but naively I would suggest
using the E-Prime system if you can afford it. That being said,
from what I know about the hardcore perception people, they
tend to use programs that use MatLab, Mathematica, and,
apparently, Python, for a number of visual experiments and
psychophysics. One source you might want to check out is
Hans Strasburger's website:

A paper by Yoonessi & Yoonessi (associated with McGill and
elsewhere) reviews three packages and come out in favor of
Psych Toolbox but this requires Matlab; a PDF of their review
can be accessed here:

The website for Psychtoolbox-Version 3 is:

A brief entry for Psychtoolbox is available on Wikipedia:
