ABSTRACT

ESP2 (an Experimental Stimuli Presentation Platform) is a prototypical implementation of a thin software layer on top of the Java ™ environment for coding experiments in scientifIc disciplines like cognitive psychology, cognitive ergonomics and behavioral sciences. The platform is composed of a set of libraries providing a basic application programming interface (API) for the implementation of cognitive experiments, and a lightweight application framework for stimuli definition, presentation, and subsequent processing of user response.
