neuropsychology / neuropsydia.py Goto Github PK

I'm trying to install neuropsydia. But every time it's giving an error "Metadata generation failed"
Please help me resolve this issue. It's urgent

for some reasons

ask() could be rewritten using the other neuropsydia functions, especially write() and rectangle(), thus removing some code weight due to the pygame blocks.

This could resolve #7

It would be cool to be able to write using a bit of markdown syntax, especially for bold and italic:

n.write("hey, this is **bold** and this is in *italic*")

It wound need a rewrite of the write function though.

would be cool to have an automatic multiple lines display

for example a parameter rows=1 that would automatically dispatch the boxes accordingly.

It would be great.

One of the way to possibly display several scales and/or choices at the same time might be to create a class scale / choice. This will change their behavior to something like:

# Create a scale object
eval_mood = scale(title="how is my mood?")  # Create a scale object
eval_mood.display()  # Display a simple scale

# Same for choice
choice_gender = choice(["Male", "Female"], title="Gender?")
choice_gender.display()

# To display both
multiple_display([eval_mood, choice_gender], y=[4, -2])

However, I'm worrying that it would get a bit more redundant / complicated / less straightforward to display simple scales / choices that it is now.

What do you think?

It would be cool to have a "multiple_selection" argument for choice(). The function would then return a dictionary with each choice associated with a TRUE/FALSE statement following the user's selection.

The docstrings (the help) for these functions must be completed... Easy but I did it too much already 😆

when clicking on a choice, the choice is highlighted and not selected. If you click another time on the same choice, it is selected, of course. However, it seems that if you click on another choice after highlighting another with the forst click, it doesn't highlight it, but select it directly. Would be good to actually select a choice only if it has been clicked twice in a row.

for Pypi compatible display.

I tried to run the go/no-go example and got stuck on a blank screen. The error I got is pasted below:

Jul 21 14:39:41 python[54022] : CGDisplayBaseAddress is obsolete and returning an empty buffer for display 0x7bd7f77d

I am testing the package on a MacBook Pro (Late 2013) in Python 3.5.2.

long_description = open('README.md').read(),
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.md'
I keep getting this error when installing it, anyway to solve it?

In fact, all functions including text does not show any Korean characters.
I think it is similar issues with the Chinese characters does not show.
I hope you to give options to choose font not only in choice.py but also every functions including text such as instruction, write, questionnaire.

And I also find out choices_style=' font.ttf' does not work in Korean font.

Hi all!

I have an issue recording RT and selecting stimuli.
Concerning n.response I want to record RT from the time of presentation of the word e.g. "go" till the time the participant press "T". What I actually get is: 'exceeded time' as a response and a RT that is (I guss) the RT itself + the time_max of 4000. How can I get the correct RT and so the correct response?

Then I would like just shuffle "go", "back", "stop" for 6 times so that each word is presented two times in random orders but random.shuffle on 'stimulus' is not doing the job correctly. Any hints on this?
Many thanks :)

for trial in range(6): 
    stimulus = random.choice(["go", "back", "stop"]) 
    ISI = random.randrange(start=500, stop=2000, step=500)  


n.newpage("grey") 
n.write("+")  
n.refresh()  
n.time.wait(ISI)  

n.newpage()
n.write(stimulus)  
n.refresh()
response, RT = n.response(allow = ["T", "B", "G"], get_RT =True, time_max = 4000)

in the choice.py, if the title is chinese, it would be shown as blank.

would be cool to be able to simply display a help pannel on the bottom, top, right or left of the screen.

• adjustable opacity?
• auto-adjust size according to the amount of text?
• dynamic display of this pannel according to certain conditions (mouse over a specific word or something?)

Is there any way to abort an experiment? (E.g., pressing certain keys.)

I don't know how to do it since the window is initialized at the package import as a variable to be used by the other functions (such as write, image etc.).

The window, and the connected functions should somehow be initialized with the start() function.

But it would be a nice feature, especially for those that mainly use the statistical functions and are are tired of adding the start line:

import neuropsydia as n
n.start(open_window=False)

when writing something with ask(), then erasing it with backspace, then re-writing it, sometimes it doesn't work.
