lexsync: Lexical Optimisation and Hardware-Timed Experiment Generation
A cross-platform toolkit that unifies many-language lexical-corpus access, parallel multidimensional stimulus matching, deterministic pseudoword generation, counterbalancing and the automated generation of experiments from a declarative trial-event model, for 'PsychoPy', 'OpenSesame' and the browser ('jsPsych'). The laboratory targets bind electroencephalography onset triggers to the stimulus flip. It is the R member of a dual-language pair; a structurally identical 'Python' package is also provided. Several paradigms (factorial word contrasts, lexical decision, priming, self-paced reading and cued categorisation) are supported, and each design is accompanied by a machine- and human-readable materials datasheet for reproducibility.
