calling all researchers who collect data from humans 🧠🧪 we are running a very brief survey (<1 min) about jsPsych, the software ecosystem for browser-based data collection. if you use jsPsych, or if you collect data with any other software, please fill it out at tinyurl.com/jspsych-census!

I am writing on behalf of the leadership of jsPsych, the software ecosystem for browser-based data collection used in experiments and surveys from many labs worldwide.

It has been difficult for us to figure out how widespread jsPsych usage is, because the software is freely available online and we do not collect any information about downloads, users, experiments posted online, etc. While the software has been cited in thousands of articles, jsPsych usage is likely more widespread than those citations imply, because not every project using jsPsych leads to a citation, and because there are also often substantial delays between actual jsPsych usage and a publication. As such, we are conducting a very brief census of jsPsych users.

If you collect data from humans using jsPsych or any other type of software, we would appreciate your filling out a very brief survey (<1 min) at tinyurl.com/jspsych-census. This will help us to understand how many people, labs, and institutions are current or former users of jsPsych, information that will help support the long-term sustainability of the jsPsych ecosystem.

We would also appreciate it if you could circulate this message to your lab, your department listserv, and your collaborators, to help ensure that it reaches as many members of the research community as possible. The survey is being distributed by Josh de Leeuw, Melissa Kline Struhl, and myself. Please contact me (sam@auckland.ac.nz) off-list if you have any questions about it.

Every summer, jSchool starts in Siena. The research projects start taking shape! In Winter, we all head to Vienna for jMeeting. It’s a great chance to share updates. The following summer, jGlobal and JRPC take place in Cambridge. Application process for students will start soon. Stay tuned! 💙

The GestaltReVision Lab spent the past week diving deep into our research projects, exploring connections between our interests, and learning from one another. Our annual retreat isn’t just an investment in scientific growth, it’s also a reminder that great research is built on strong teams.

It was a pleasure introducing PsyNet and its many applications at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology today! Thanks @felixhermans.bsky.social for the invitation and all PsyNet developers, incl. @pmcharrison.bsky.social and @norijacoby.bsky.social for creating such an amazing platform!

Tremendously grateful to @elinevg.bsky.social for providing an introduction to PsyNet (www.psynet.dev) at the Laboratory for Experimental Social Psychology in KU Leuven today! PsyNet is a new platform uniquely suited to crafting complex experimental designs in an efficient manner!

It was a pleasure presenting my open-source toolbox OCTA for reproducible stimulus generation along the QIP machine from the Aesthetics Toolbox for computing quantitative image properties! Explore OCTA here: elinevg.github.io/OCTA/

ECVP 2026@ecvp.bsky.social · 11mo ago

#ECVP2025 In addition to yesterday's Illusion Night we would like to mention the contribution of @elinevg.bsky.social and @lisa-kossmann.bsky.social about Open-Source Toolboxes for aesthetics and perception.

Looking forward to #ECVP2025 Demo Night om Aug 26th! Come challenge yourself to create the most complex OCTA stimulus and check its numeric complexity with the QIP machine of the Aesthetics Toolbox!

Lisa Kossmann@lisa-kossmann.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Come find @elinevg.bsky.social and myself at #ECVP2025 Demo Night to challenge your colleagues to a fun little game around visual complexity using the #octatoolbox and the #QIPMachine of the #AestheticsToolbox!
