Introduction
EventIDE is a program that offers an innovative and powerful approach for designing and running psychological experiments.
The main idea behind of EventIDE is to combine four weighty design principles in one program:
| Rationality | Complete visual representation of the experiment logic including a flow, events and stimuli |
| Simplicity | Turbulent GUI interface that assists in all designing steps |
| Power | Unbounded programming platform for user coding |
| Flexibility | Modular architecture for in-core injection of user extensions |
Major facts
Despite of its young age EventIDE already has an impressive feature list that is planned to be grown further. The major facts about the program are:
Precise
EventIDE utilizes a variety of low-level system functions to ensure a good performance and 1-ms timing precision on the standard PC hardware. Timing accuracy is automatically monitored by the program.
Hardware-friendly
EventIDE provides a built-in support for a large list of popular experimental hardware via standard protocols applicable to different devices of the same hardware class.
Users
EventIDE suits equally well to different categories of users: creating a functional experiment can be as easy as making a slide presentation for beginners, whereas advanced users would cheer a professional programming potential of the program.
In sum
EventIDE is aimed to integrate all tools necessary for experimental design in a single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) representing a complete software solution for a wide range of experimental paradigms.
