Subject: [AUDITORY] pypercept: Python software for psychoacoustical experiments From: Martin Hansen <0000030127888f30-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 May 2024 18:34:41 +0200Dear 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.
