Is anyone aware of a list of open-source tools used in psychology research ? So this could be for use at any stage of the research pipeline, from literature searches to experiment creation to data analysis to manuscript write up. I feel this exists somewhere and a helpful bsky soul may help 🙏🏼

A figure from the paper showing the three main tasks. Top panel shows the balance task, an astronaught balances on one leg next to a press to start/stop button. Middle panel, a sound induced flash illusion task. A white circle is shown onscreen with two beeps separated by one of three asynchronies. Bottom panel, the motor task, participants clock a green start button in the lower left and then click one of 16 onscreen locations arranged in a cross formation.
