With the upcoming changes to OSF, DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) is migrating to a multi-backend model. We're currently developing support for Zenodo, Dataverse, and Google Drive. If there are other providers that you'd like to see as options please get in touch.

COS is announcing important changes to the Open Science Framework (OSF). OSF Projects—used for project collaboration, file mgmt, & storage—is being phased out as an active workspace over the next 6 months. This change does not affect persistence & accessibility of existing public projects. (🧵1/2)

Response duration tracking is now an option in jsPsych 8.3.0. Decide whether to trigger responses on key press (current default) or wait for key release to get both initial response time and response duration. We handle edge cases like multiple keys being pressed and tabbing away from the browser.

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!

A few days at the @jspsych.org Summer Hackathon 2026 turned into jspsych-ado: adaptive Bayesian experimental design that runs in the browser along with any jspsych experiment. It adapts each what it presents on each trial to what it has learned from a participant's earlier responses:

I'm having such a blast at the jsPsych hackathon! Here's the jsPsychStorybookPlugin dream team @knle.bsky.social @siyingzhg.bsky.social Urvi Suwal, Val Inojosa, Aiden Brown. We're out here making storybook trials that sync image presentations w audio, allow animations, replay, & even confetti 🎊

so excited! and so are our students!

now’s the time to say: i’ll be joining the faculty of cognitive science at vassar in the fall. pokipse bound!

whoah. I teach a course every year that looks at lots of case studies in research misconduct and this one still made me gasp.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

This confirms my suspicion that @briannosek.bsky.social is a pirate.

Replicating an eye tracking experiment in my research methods course this semester, so I built an integration for Tobii systems. This works for any of the Tobii Pro hardware, and, with the right SDK install, older hardware too. We're running an X3-120 with it. Feedback welcome!

This is a fundraising post! An anonymous donor is matching contributions to Children Helping Science up to 100K through the end of the year - if it's in your giving budget, please consider supporting open science infrastructure! giving.mit.edu/search/node/... Details below...

You can do this right now: Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better. Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

It's the second Tuesday of the month, which means I'm doing drop-in office hours for #jspsych support on our discord. 10:30-11:30 EDT. discord.gg/RCKWJ4qb3p

Today from 5-6 ET / 2-3 PT, Becky Gilbert is going to host an open office hour for help with jsPsych. Becky is a software engineer for Children Helping Science. Did you know that you can now use jsPsych to build studies that run on CHS (formerly Lookit)?

We've just launched a Discord server for #jsPsych users to collaborate and get technical help. I'll be hosting office hours tomorrow from 10:30-11:30 AM EDT. Hop in with any questions! discord.gg/RCKWJ4qb3p

Really enjoyed getting to participate in open source development with the team from COS! Pretty soon, you'll be able to connect an OSF component to DataPipe (pipe.jspsych.org) directly through your OSF account.

Center for Open Science@cos.io · 10mo ago

Through the Open Source Ecosystem initiative, COS is making OSF a truly community-driven platform. By opening OSF's development and governance to researchers, institutions, and developers, we foster shared investment in the tools that enable open scholarship. 🎥 Learn more:

Want to know what kinds of studies webcam-based eye tracking can be used for? Here's our take on the current tech. This certainly isn't the first paper on this topic, but it provides some converging evidence about the viability of eye tracking with online methods. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

The first post-release workshop/tutorial on implementing Psych-DS for your dataset is online at #SIPS2025 tomorrow! In case 12:30CET/6:30AM EDT/3:30AM PDT is not to your liking (or you're not registered for SIPS), I may do an encore in a North American timeslot next week, would people be interested?
