[AUDITORY] pypercept: Python software for psychoacoustical experiments

[Martin Hansen <0000030127888f30-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

we are happy to announce the public availability of "pypercept",
a Python framework for developing and running psychoacoustical
experiments, obtainable at https://gitlab.gwdg.de/ha_soft/pypercept

pypercept is used for education and research at the Institute of
Hearing Technology and Audiology, Jade Hochschule, in Oldenburg.
One aim of pypercept has been to provide the students in the
psychoacoustics courses with a uniform and simple starting point
for designing their own listening experiments.

Currently, n-AFC detection and discrimination experiments and
2-AFC matching experiments are readily supported. The stimulus
variable can either be controlled adaptively according to
transformed-up-down algorithms or weighted-up-down algorithms.
Alternatively, the method of constant stimuli may be used for
detection and discrimination experiments.

pypercept runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows platforms and there are
several options for running your experiments: It offers a
commandline/text based user interface, a browser based graphical
UI, or a server based UI.  The output stimuli can be filtered to
allow for a headphone equalisation, if you provide the filter
coefficients.

pypercept offers the possibility to run the same experiment with
either human test subjects, or with an auditory model hooked in
which replaces the test subject.

The different features are explained in the documentation and can
be explored through several example experiments which are part of
the distribution.


Regards,
Martin Hansen, Sven Kissner
