After installation, the remaining task for any experimenter using psynteract is to build the study. This is what we cover in this part of the documentation.
Four basic features make up the core of psynteract. Together, they provide the building blocks for even complex interactive functionality. For clarity, we have split these into separate pages:
- Connect
Establish a connection between a client and the central server at the beginning of the experiment - Push
Send data from a client to the server, making it available to the other connected clients - Get
Retrieve data provided by the other clients - Wait
Pause an experiment until a specific condition is met on part of the other
The additional features exist mainly to simplify complex experiments:
- Reassign
Regroup participants and assign new roles - Communicate (OpenSesame only)
Combine the push, wait and get steps into one
