PsychoPy

PsychoPy is available as preconfigured VDI machines running Windows.

Anaconda

The VDI machines are running Anaconda.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum requirement for PsychoPy is a computer with a graphics card that supports OpenGL. Many newer graphics cards will work well. Ideally the graphics card should support OpenGL version 2.0 or higher.

Certain visual functions run much faster if OpenGL 2.0 is available, and some require it (e.g. ElementArrayStim).

If you already have a computer, you can install PsychoPy and the Configuration Wizard will auto-detect the card and drivers, and provide more information.

Recommended hardware

It is inexpensive to upgrade most desktop computers to an adequate graphics card. High-end graphics cards can be very expensive but are only needed for very intensive use.

Generally nVidia and ATI (AMD) graphics chips are high-performance than Intel graphics chips so try and get one of those instead.
