SchizoidPy is a convenience library for using PsychoPy to do psychology experiments that aren't psychophysics experiments. It's like a GUI library for psychology. You create a schizoidpy.Task object and then call methods on it to solicit ratings on Likert-type scales, numbers typed into a textbox, and the like. Then you say task.done('data.json') to emit the current subject's responses and timing data as JSON.

You should take the absence of documentation as a hint that I'm not making any guarantees about stability. I wrote this thing for my own use. But see Survivor for an example task.

Also included in this repository is trigger-test.py, a script for checking whether SchizoidPy's method of sending EEG trigger codes works on your system. It doesn't actually depend on SchizoidPy.

SchizoidPy began life as a spinoff of the generic functions in Cookie.

SchizoidPy only works with Python 2. There's a python3 branch, but it doesn't actually work, because it's written against wxPython 3, which is backwards-incompatible with wxPython 4, and wxPython 3 doesn't support Python 3. Moreover, wxPython 4 isn't compatible with pyglet, which is the only fully functional backend for PsychoPy as of this writing (11 Oct 2018).
