Congratulations to John Allen and Frank Gasking, who have received funding from Learning and Development to attend PyCon 2015 – the community-organised conference for the Python programming language – in September. Python is a powerful general-purpose language that can be used with many of our systems including the SR Research and Tobii eye trackers, our EEG equipment and in the creation of immersive environments for our virtual reality suite. Python is also the programming language behind the stimulus presentation and data collection software PsychoPy.
