47 research tasks · 6 cognitive domains · normative comparison where supported · free to start · no hardware, no downloads, no $30,000 license.
Start from a published starter battery or hand-pick tasks in the study wizard. Every task ships with research-ready timing, scoring, and instructions.
How quickly the brain processes information and executes simple motor responses.
Selectively focusing on relevant information while filtering distractors.
Holding and manipulating information in mind over short periods.
Inhibition, cognitive flexibility, and task switching.
Encoding, storing, and retrieving information about specific experiences.
Fluid reasoning, planning, and value-based decision under uncertainty.
Every task uses a public-domain paradigm with automated scoring and clean exports. Open any task for the full method, measures, and references.
Published, ready-to-run task sets. Clone one and edit.
Executive Screen · 4 tasks selected
Remote or in-lab, your sessions are resumable, localized, and screened at intake. The platform protects the data before it ever reaches your analysis.
Share a unique URL for unsupervised testing, or run supervised sessions on site. Built-in fullscreen and focus checks keep conditions consistent.
Sessions save incrementally via sendBeacon as each trial completes. A dropped connection resumes where it left off — fewer failed participants, direct ROI.
Full participant flow in English and Italian today, with instructions and stimuli localized — recruit international samples without rebuilding.
Automated submissions are screened at intake, so your dataset reflects real human responders — a first line of data integrity.

Respond to the centre arrow
Validated norms, automated invalid-session detection, and reproducible scoring turn raw responses into data you can defend in peer review. This is exactly what a DIY jsPsych build leaves you to engineer yourself.
Live · exec-7Q2
4 of 7 shown · flagged sessions are excluded from analysis automatically — you decide what re-enters.
P-1042 · Simple RT vs age-matched norms
Quality-gated interpretation. Percentiles render only for sessions that pass validity checks — so norms are never computed on data you'd throw out.

Participant places are used when links are created, before completion. A participant in another study or timepoint uses another place.
How we compare
Focused on academic and commercial research workflows, not clinical diagnosis or regulated-clinical claims.
