Python for Experimental Psychologists

'Programming in Python is an invaluable skill for psychology researchers, for both making experiments and analysing the resulting data.'

Christopher R Madan, author of Memories That Matter: How We Remember Important Things, Academia and the World Beyond book series on post-PhD careers, and An Introduction to MATLAB for Behavioral Researchers

Praise for previous edition

'An easy-to-read introduction. In a humorous style it introduces the reader to programming in Python, picking them up where they are as experimental psychologists. Very useful indeed!'

Ulrich von Hecker, Senior Lecturer, Cardiff University, UK

'Edwin Dalmaijer provides an intuitive introduction into psychological experimentation using Python libraries co-developed by the author himself. Well-structured and easy to read, this book will quickly have you programming, running and analysing your own experiments using open, modern tools.'

Tomas Knapen, Assistant Professor Cognitive Neuroscience, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands

'Python is fast becoming the lingua franca of scientific research, and this excellent and highly accessible book fills a much-needed gap for experimental psychologists. The strong focus on developing genuinely useful experimental code, and the comprehensive examples included, make it an outstandingly useful resource not just for students, but for seasoned researchers as well. Certainly the best (and funniest!) introduction to Python I've come across.'
