The file repository of scripts used for our 2018 study Neurophysiological Indicators of Attention in Information Technology Use, REB 2018-4404 at Dalhousie University, done through the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab. This study was later nicknamed "aalis" for short, standing for "attention adaptive learning information systems". The results of this study were ultimately published in an article in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, which can be found here.
In this folder you will find our analysis scripts for the project and a copy of the PsychoPy paradigm used in the experiment. All analysis files consist of Jupyter notebooks that leverage the Python or R programming language. The repository contains scripts for individual analysis of the 48 participants analyzed in the study, as well as scripts used to generate the statistical analysis, grand average images, and bar charts. The paradigm files are Python files that should be executed by any Python 2 environment that has the PsychoPy package, though note that they are currently configured for our Asalab system, which uses a parallel port.
