Designed For Researchers, Not Programmers

SuperLab is designed for researchers. With SuperLab, you can build the experiment you need with just a few mouse clicks.

Easy, But Powerful

SuperLab is GUI-based software for behavioral science experiments.
Does that make it simpler or more limited than script-based software?
Not at all. SuperLab’s Stimulus Lists, Parameters, and Conditional Branching make even highly complex experiments easy to implement.
A single license also works on both macOS and Windows.

Real Experiments. Ready

The SuperLab website provides downloadable experiment files used in published, widely cited research. These include the classic Stroop task and many experiments involving attention, perception, and memory, all available as free downloads with accompanying lab books. Learn more ▸

Do It! In Your Language.

Users who purchase a SuperLab license through BRnC receive a comprehensive Korean-language manual.

Available Stimulus Types

All features below are supported on both macOS and Windows, although some file formats may be platform-specific.

thumb_et_picture_files-56-1

Picture Files

Supports most image formats, including JPG, PNG, and BMP.
thumb_et_movies-56-1

Movies

Play one video or multiple videos simultaneously.
thumb_et_rsvp-56-1

RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation)

Create RSVP experiments with text stimuli in just a few clicks.
thumb_et_spr-56-1

Self-Paced Reading

Present text stimuli sequentially, segmented by syllable.
thumb_et_text-56-1

Text

Use many writing systems, including Korean, Chinese characters, Hiragana, and Katakana.
thumb_et_sound_files-56-1

Sound Files

Play sounds for individual trials or continuously throughout an experiment.
thumb_et_digital_output-56-1

Digital Output

Send event codes through StimTracker or another I/O card for more efficient EEG, ERP, and fMRI experiments.
thumb_et_serial_output-56-1

Serial Output

Control other equipment through a serial port.

Other Features

Additional features help make experimental design more efficient.

Randomization
 In addition to trial randomization, you can randomize the following properties:

  • Visual-stimulus position
  • Text-stimulus color
  • Presentation time or the time limit given for a participant’s response

E-Prime
 | The Lumina controller can emulate PST’s Serial Response Box.

Looping
 Repeat trials until a specified condition is met, making memory and learning experiments easier to create.

Easy Conditional Branching
 No programming is required; create if/then/else flows with mouse clicks.

Go/No-Go Experiments
 | A built-in option can treat a participant’s non-response as correct, simplifying Go/No-Go experiments.

Participant Groups
 Show specific blocks or trials to each group, or use identically randomized stimulus sequences across groups.

Stimulus Lists
 Manage image, video, sound, and text stimuli through lists to simplify experiment creation.

Experiment Packaging
 Save an experiment and all of its stimulus files in a single archive.

Extensive Hardware Support

Supports a wide range of input hardware, from standard keyboards and mice to voice input, high-precision response pads, and MRI-compatible response devices.

Input Devices

  • Use a standard keyboard to measure individual key presses and releases or collect sentence-length responses.
  • Define response areas on screen and collect responses with a mouse or touchscreen.
  • On macOS, the built-in microphone can serve as a voice-response device. 
  • On Windows, digital input can be received through an I/O card or USB device. 
  • PST’s Serial Response Box can also be used as a SuperLab response device.

Output Devices

  • StimTracker EEG/ERP, a ready-to-use solution for eye tracking and psychophysiological measurements. 

 

  • Cedrus Response Device All Cedrus input devices  (RB Series, Lumina, and SV-1) include output lines for sending signals to external equipment.

 

  • National Instruments and Measurement Computing Use a range of NI and Measurement Computing devices to send event markers or control other equipment.

Data Viewer | View, Transpose, and Merge Data

SuperLab saves participant responses and reaction times in tab-delimited text files. Results can be imported easily into applications such as Excel. The free Cedrus Data Viewer included with SuperLab lets you preview data and perform basic statistical analyses without opening another application:

  • View multiple result files at once and run basic statistical analyses without additional editing.
  • Flag rows according to defined criteria—for example, trials whose reaction times are more than two standard deviations from the mean.
  • Export data without flagged rows and save files in formats that are easy to import into applications such as SPSS.
