<p>jsPsych is a JavaScript library for running behavioral experiments in a web browser. The library provides a flexible framework for building a wide range of laboratory-like experiments that can be run online.</p>
<p>To use jsPsych, you provide a description of the experiment in the form of <a href="overview/timeline/">a timeline</a>. jsPsych handles things like determining which trial to run next, storing data, and randomization. jsPsych uses <em>plugins</em> to define what to do at each point on the timeline. Plugins are ready-made templates for simple experimental tasks like displaying instructions or displaying a stimulus and collecting a keyboard response. Plugins are very flexible to support a wide variety of experiments. It is easy to create your own plugin if you have experience with JavaScript programming.</p>
<p><a href="overview/timeline/">The page on timelines</a> is a good place to start learning about jsPsych. From there, you might want to complete the <a href="tutorials/hello-world/">Hello World! tutorial</a> and the <a href="tutorials/rt-task/">reaction time experiment tutorial</a>.</p>
