In this short post I will show you a quick fix for the error “unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘float’ and ‘NoneType’” with Pyvttbl. In earlier posts I have showed how to carry out ANOVA using Pyvttbl (among other packages. See posts 1, 2, 3, and 4 for ANOVA using pyvttbl). However, Pyvttbl is not […]
In this post, PyCharm vs Spyder will be compared. If you have followed my blog you may have noticed that a lot of focus have been put on how to learn programming (particularly in Python). I have also written about Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). I think that an IDE may, in fact, be very useful […]
In this post you are going to learn how to create a simple experiment using the free experiment building software OpenSesame. As I have previously written about, OpenSesame, is an application, based on Python, for creating Psychology, Neuroscience, and Economics experiments. It offers a nice and easy to use interface. In this interface you can […]
In this short post we are going to revisit the topic on how to carry out summary/descriptive statistics in Python. In the previous post, I used Pandas (but also SciPy and Numpy, see Descriptive Statistics Using Python) but now we are only going to use Numpy. The descriptive statistics we are going to calculate are […]
One of the great things with programming is that you can automate things that is boring. As a student I often get schedules in the form of Word documents. I prefer to have all my activities in a calendar and used to manually put every time in a course into my calendar. Today I got […]
In this video you learn how to create a Flanker task using the Python package Expyriment. If you don’t know Expyriment it is an open-source library. You can program your experiments and run on Linux, Windows, and OS-x computers as well as on Android devices. In the tutorial you will get familiar with Expyriment and […]
Inspired by my post for the JEPS Bulletin (Python programming in Psychology), where I try to show how Python can be used from collecting to analyzing and visualizing data, I have started to learn more data exploring techniques for Psychology experiments (e.g., response time and accuracy). Here are some methods, using Python, for visualization of […]
Python is gaining popularity in many fields of science. This means that there also are many applications and libraries specifically for use in Psychological research. For instance, there are packages for collecting data & analysing brain imaging data. In this post, I have collected some useful Python packages for researchers within the field of Psychology […]
In this post I will describe, shortly, how to use InLine scripts in E-prime to save your data in comma-separated values (CSV) files. For those who are not familiar with E-prime it is an experiment generating software based on visual basic (i.e., it has its own scripting language called e-basic). Its main purpose is to […]
PsychoPy, as I have previously written about (e.g., Free and Useful Software and PsychoPy tutorial) is really a great Python tool for creating Psychology experiments. You can write Python code by either using “code view” or import the package in your favourite IDE. Furthermore, you can use the builder mode and just drag and drop different […]
