PsychoPy to JATOS

Hi! I just made an experiment and it doesn’t seem to be able to run on JATOS, does anyone know how to convert it so that it does?

That isn’t something we support I’m afraid. We created Pavlovia instead.

Dear Jon,

Is Pavlovia (to your knowledge) the only system that accepts online experiments created in PsychPy Builder? Is there a system I can install on my server for PsychPy experiments? Thank you very much for your answer,

Marko Maliković

Yes, to my knowledge that’s true.

If your motivation is legal/security requirements

For institutions that need to have the data stored on their own servers for data/legal reasons we can support them in doing that, but it costs considerably more to provide that bespoke support than using the standard server.

If your motivation is to cut costs

The PsychoJS library is open source so there’s nothing to stop you using that and exporting your data to some other server. The time spent setting that server up and maintaining it are likely to be more costly than simply paying for Pavlovia, especially once you’ve gone to the levels of ensuring the security of the server and communication (e.g. penetration testing is expensive)

So there are a range of options there for you, but Pavlovia is the cheapest and easiest, I believe
