Use jsPsych library to code your cognitive task. Upload your Javascript code or use our online code editor to create your experiment.
Cognition is built to make your life easier. Every experiment gets a secure URL, ready to share. Share the link with your participants to run your experiment.
Designed with the latest web technology in mind. Cognition collects and stores the data in real-time for you and makes it available for download as CSV.
We know that building the infrastructure to carry out online experiments is time-consuming and prohibitively difficult, if not impossible. Using Cognition to build your experiment means never worrying about writing another PHP script or cross browser compatibility. Our ready-to-go platform will make your life easier.

Create tasks for your specific use-case with the code, stimuli, and dependencies you need.
See Javascript errors clearly with our user-friendly overlay.
See changes as you make them. Your experiment is updated as you type.
We dont' like to brag, but we don't mind letting the community do it for us. Here are a few nice things folks have said about our platform.

“I've never used a theme as versatile and flexible as Cognition. It's my go to for building landing sites on almost any project.”
You have a study to run. Stop worrying about database design, cross-browser bugs, security issues, server setup. Let us do that for you.
Absolutely.
Cognition is a self-funded project. In the future, we might ask for donations or contributions from heavy users.
The task is defined in Javascript code, based on the jsPsych library. Start from scratch or start quickly using pre-packaged examples.
Cognition is free to use.
We are a small group of neuroscientists from USA. Working from home now ;)
Yes. Cognition adds the jsPsych library (Javascript and CSS) by default. Upload your own Javascript or CSS libraries to the platform and they will be available during the experiment.
Stop wasting time trying to do it the "right way" and build an online experiment from scratch. Cognition is faster, easier, and you still have complete control.
