@ceptional that paper is not for in browser timing, but native application timing. Check out table 3 here for web based timing on multiple OS/browser/platforms https://t.co/vogHm4fRPL
@da5nsy @Samuel_Smithers In terms of precision, psychtoolbox is actually used in several of the components of psychopy to obtain good precision data (e.g. keypress responses) so precision will be similar see here for direct comparisons https://t.co/F6zJOOkPbi /2
What does this mean? First, some good news. RT measurement accuracy in Asteroid Impact is similar to measurement accuracy in other experimental software, although it is not as accurate as @psychopy. See: https://t.co/qQqcyIjB7g, https://t.co/JcUGeVrXyE, https://t.co/bL9TkMP5Yh
@lebababa @NeuroAnaTody Yes, using the PTB audio engine sound production latencies are very very low. For full details see our timing mega-study from earlier this year: https://t.co/QWfAlnamoB
@micahgallen Wouldn't be surprised if you could get good timing out of it (https://t.co/me08QXW9D7), although ultrabooks in general with their low-power cpu's seems to need a bit of clamping down to behave.
@Kathy_Rastle @aidanhorner @DrBalsters Also, have a more readable blog post on the paper here:https://t.co/e5xmPmSEux
There are also a couple of other papers on the subject: Bridges et al. 2020: https://t.co/zZaJLM6RL5. Pronk et al 2020: https://t.co/TT9z9V5C96
"Across operating systems, the pattern was that precision was generally very slightly better under Ubuntu than Windows, and that macOS was the worst"
Please start reporting in what OS you run your studies :)
