Research activities in the pandemic: the use of the PCIBEX online platform to do psycholinguistics experiments

Abstract

This paper has the main goal of analyzing and explaining the use of the web platform for doing psycholinguistics experiments online called Penn Controller for Ibex (PCIbex) (ZEHR; SCHWARZ, 2018ZEHR, Jérémy; SCHWARZ, Florian. PennController for Internet Based Experiments (IBEX), 2018. DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MD832. Disponível em: Disponível em: https://osf.io/md832/ . Acesso em: 7 jul. 2021.

). To illustrate its use, we presented an experiment developed for the research: “Processamento de sentenças e Foco: estudos de interface na Psicolinguística experimental”. For further exemplification of the platform, we compared it to other similar tools called PsychoPy (PEIRCE, 2007PEIRCE, Jon. W. PsychoPy-Psychophysics software in Python. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, v. 162, n. 1-2, p. 8-13, mai. 2007. DOI: 10.1016/j.jneumeth.2006.11.017.

). This study proves itself relevant because the literature in Portuguese about this platform is scarce. As a result, we aim to contribute to the dissemination of PCIbex in the Brazilian research community.
