This course teaches computing tools used in psychological research: a GitHub repository, Visual Studio Code on your laptop, version control, a short data file, and a written report generated from a script. The examples are ordinary psychology: reaction time, a personality inventory, a report pipeline, and research documentation.
PSYCH 302 and PSYCH 305 meet together. Canvas is the official course. This site is the handbook and the working laboratory pages.
Clone the private repo in VS Code, edit that week’s README.md, commit and push, collect a CSV,
generate a short report from a script, cite a paper, and write
Methods and Results in the repository. Copilot or an editor
agent may be used if it is free; every report discloses that use.
A p5.js sketch that becomes a reaction-time block, a short inventory, a two-condition comparison, and a methods-and-results page. We also look at past course projects and this term’s Week 1 pages on playground.html. The course is not a survey of mathematical psychology.
After the common exercise, everyone makes one change that a stranger can read and that includes a number, a table, or a comparison. PSYCH 302 and 305 are graded on a clear prediction and a visible result.
These are live GitHub Pages sites from recent classes and from the instructor’s catalogue — a demo, a creative coding studio, student catalogues, or a personal project index. Same idea as Week 1: a file in a repo, then GitHub Pages.
Cartridge deck: plug in keyboard, mouse, or a Muse headset and play. Built after the Brainimation class.
Live EEG plus p5.js creative coding. Students wrote sketches driven by real-time brain data (or a simulator).
Student EEG art from the earliest p5.js plus Muse class. A gallery of brain-driven sketches published as pages.
Neuroimaging and neurostimulation. Click a card for that student’s published portfolio page.
Project index: research tools, class sites, brain-art demos, and other pages built the same way you will publish this term.
Full schedule with agendas.
50% weekly laboratory reports (weeks 1–9; drop the lowest).
15% midterm project plan (28 October).
35% final project and 3-minute in-class talk (2 December). Not a written exam.
Weekly marking: rubrics.html.
Midterm and final: project.html.
Official late work and letter grades: Simple Syllabus on Canvas.
The schedule lists every class night and its laboratory page. Weekly reports are due the Tuesday after class, 17:00, on Canvas.
