FAQ

What is the experiment factory?

We provide open source behavioral experiments for reproducible science. We are currently in beta, and you can sign up to be notified when we offer deployment of experiments from expfactory.org, or use our experiments for your research. If you use the Experiment Factory for your research, please cite us.

What deployments do you provide?

Our experiments can be deployed locally, or to psiturk as a collection "battery" of experiments either from a local server or via a virtual machine. We recommend you read our getting started guide to determine the best option for you.
