OpenSesame is an experiment builder for psychology, neuroscience and experimental economics. Researchers can assemble experiments in a graphical interface and extend them with Python or JavaScript, including browser-based experiments through OSWeb. The desktop program runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and supports connections to research equipment such as eye trackers, button boxes and EEG devices.
