iMacaque 🐒

The iMacaque app is avaliable here

---

Task

• Build a server rendered full stack app for use in research
• Use a non-relational database to store and retrieve data.

User stories

As a researcher I want to...

• Accurately complete a Static Choice Test multiple times a day
• Record data (timing of every event) for each user
• Collect the timing of every event

Data

Data will be collected as times and will be collected at 5 points in a single trial:

• Blankscreen (time = 0secs)
• Choices appear
• Choice is made (image/video displays)
• Video/image stops displaying (second blank screen)
• End of trial

Other data that is not time based that needs to be collected:

• Position of the stimulus on the page
• Choice made per trial
• Session Id
• Number of trials completed per session
• Monkey Id
• Date / Time

Stretch Goals

• Change the images/videos provided to the monkey
• Adjust the timing of the choices being presented to the monkey
• Heat mapping
• Image recognition for authentication
