Make research fun with Research Buddies
When preparing your experiment or thesis, you need a research buddy to measure response times and cognitive performance reliably. Research Buddies offers focused apps that help you run classic tasks such as the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), Stroop Test, and N-back working memory task on both iOS and Android.
Designed for research and thesis projects
Maximum flexibility
Edit the number of rounds per test, the maximum time between stimulus and start of the timer, and more—so the app matches your study design.
Result analysis
Collect and review response times directly in the app, so you can quickly see how your participants perform.
Easy export
Select all your tests or a subset and export to a .CSV file. Send the file to yourself via email, WhatsApp, Slack, or any other app.
A research buddy in practice
When preparing my experiment for a social science thesis I definitely needed a research buddy. A critical component for my experiment was to accurately measure the psychomotor vigilance of my subjects. Luckily I found Research Buddies and I passed my thesis with flying colors.
