Not to be confused with the software that most labs use, http://psychtoolbox.org/ ...

For pythom users psychopy is also an option https://www.psychopy.org

http://www.palamedestoolbox.org Is also useful in this type of research.

Yeah, psychopy is rapidly overtaking psychtoolbox (if it hasn't already) -- but it doesn't have a confusingly similar name to PsyToolkit.

[Disclaimer: I'm an alum of the lab that created psychtoolbox]

psychopy has already started adopting functionality direct from the PsychoPhysics Toolbox [PTB] with the help of PTB maintainer Mario Kleiner. No point reinventing (and exhaustively testing) the wheel.

My tweet from last year celebrating the first fruits of code sharing https://twitter.com/dagmarfraser/status/1060871652408475648 with response from the lead of psychopy.

MATLAB is going to have a long slow death as open source methods demanded by open science displace it. However the PTB will live on in Octave, and now psychopy.

Another Python library is Expyriment [1]

(Note: I am the main developer of this library)
