Hyperscanning/Pairs of participants
Hello everyone!
Sorry if the question is naïve but I was wondering if it is possible to program an OpenSesame experiment where pairs of participants will be engaged in an interaction task? The first stage will be a behavioural pilot and then hyperscanning EEG sessions. Thanks a lot for any advice!
Best,
Emilia

Hi @EmiliaKerr ,
That's possible, and in fact there is a toolkit called Psynteract, developed by @Pascal and @mezzopiano , that allows for interactive OpenSesame experiments, although it's focused on experimental economics. (And I'm not sure whether it has been updated for recent versions of OpenSesame.)
As an alternative, you can have two experiments communicate with each other using the built-in Python
socketmodule or thepyzmqmodule (for ZeroMQ). This is not very difficult, but it does require some familiarity with network programming.— Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastiaan,
Thank you very much! I'll look into both options, and I might come back here if I have any more detailed questions.
Cheers,
Emilia
