Hi Jessica and List,
We’ve been compiling a resource of online experiment platforms for behavioural auditory research which might be of use for some of
you.
Note, experiment builders which are listed as hosting by Pavlovia can potentially be hosted elsewhere.
Have a good long weekend everyone,
Cheers,
Felix

Subject: [AUDITORY] online data collection for auditory experiments
Like many labs, we are currently evaluating options for running auditory experiments online. I wondered if others would be willing to share their experiences
with online data collection, or resources they have found helpful - particularly pertaining to the challenges of auditory stimulus presentation (e.g. timing precision)? We currently have adaptive tasks running in Matlab so are especially interested to hear
about experiences using Matlab-based solutions, but any insights very welcome.
