Arrange a workshop for your lab or department

In person or virtual, we can develop bespoke content to suit your needs

    We can cover a range of topics including:
  • Builder basics. Introduce your team to what is possible using the Builder interface to create a huge range of studies
  • Running experiments online with Pavlovia.
  • Get started with Python coding by making experiments - a fun, visual, way to learn how to code.
  • Learn how to create experiments that interact with a range of hardware, Eyetracking, EEG, fMRI, or something else!
  • Content tailored to Undergraduate, Postgraduate or Research Staff level.

One-to-one tutorials

If you need to create a task for a specific project, but you'de like to learn along the way, build it with us!

  • Brief us on your project.
  • We create bespoke material on how to create your paradigm.
  • One-to-one video calls to co-create your task.
  • Learn PsychoPy and/or Pavlovia, and leave with your experiment!
