Using Pavlovia with your PsychoPy experiment is a good way to get started with concepts of #git and version control. When you sync your project, don't forget to leave a useful "Summary of changes" - then you can see your full version history on Pavlovia via View Code > Repository > Commits.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an eyetracking data analysis tool in Python? Ideally something that e.g. has fixation and saccade detection algorithms, and some visualisation. It seems that there is no particularly good standard. @benediktehinger.bsky.social #VisionScience

So you need to find where something exists in your PsychoPy Builder experiment (a variable name, a component an image you have references). Did you know that you can use "Find in Experiment" to find all locations where a variable is referred to? #toptips #psychopy #psychology

Did you know PsychoPy has a Plugin and Packages manager? This means you can install any #python libraries that don't exist in the standalone install - making for even more flexible experiments. An example use case .... extracting audio onsets from wav files 👇 🔊

Did you know Pavlovia allows you full version control over your experiment? We've all been there right, you make an experiment ➡️ it works ➡️ you change something ➡️ it doesn't work? ➡️ we want to go back to the old verion.... Here is how.🧵
