Getting Started
===============

You are probably a researcher that wants to collect behavioral data, and you have very specific requirements for your desired experiments, along with the environment that you will be collecting them in. The Experiment Factory is an open source, modular infrastructure that will make this easy for you. We store all of these components in a version control system called Github including `1) experiments <http://www.github.com/expfactory/expfactory-experiments>`_, `2) surveys <http://www.github.com/expfactory/expfactory-surveys>`_, `3) games <http://www.github.com/expfactory/expfactory-surveys>`_, and different options for deployment (discussed below). Before we get started, let's define a few terms.

- **experiments**: an experiment is a web-based task, survey, or game. This means that it is presented in a browser, and coded in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. If you look in any of the repos linked above, you will see an experiment is just a folder of files that will render in a browser and present visual and auditory stimuli, as well as collect behavioral metrics like response and reaction time, and accuracy.
- **battery**: a battery is a bunch of experiments presented in sequence. Typically, in research studies participants are presented with a battery of experiments.
