Use jsPsych library to code your cognitive task. Use our online code editor to create your experiment or import it from GitHub.
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.

Task Live Monitoring
The task is defined in Javascript code, based on jsPsych library. Start from scratch or start quickly using pre-packaged examples.
jsPsych is a JavaScript framework for creating behavioral experiments that run in a web browser. Cognition is the platform where experiments can be hosted and labs can work on them together.
All Cognition users get free access to experiment hosting. But if you’re looking for extensive data collection, more collaboration features, and bigger stimuli, we also offer paid plans: For Individual, and For Teams.
Yes. Cognition adds the jsPsych library (Javascript and CSS) by default. Upload your own Javascript or CSS libraries and they will be available during the experiment.
You can automatically deploy your JsPsych experiment to Cognition using GitHub Actions. Learn more in this step-by-step guide.
We are a small group of neuroscientists from USA. Working from home since 2020.
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.
