Concept

Write once, deploy anywhere

MkTurk was conceived out of the idea that neuroscience & psychology experiments should be widely disseminable. Operationaly, the code should only be written once and then the identical experiment run on any species of choice, biological or artificial. To make this a reality, the primary innovation of MkTurk is to use a webapp for its software and a webUSB-connected arduino for interfacing external hardware. This minimalist combination is capable of frame-rate visual psychophysics on any operating system that supports the Chrome browser and any device with a standard USB-C port.

Match-to-Sample

Eyetracking

3D Animation Sequence

Rotation → light position → morph → size change

Image Filter Sequence

Brightness → contrast → grayscale → hue rotate → inversion → sepia filters
