dear colleagues,
i was wondering if anyone had any idea about available software
(ideally open-source, but if not, even copyrighted stuff is ok!) for
setting up psychological tests online. by tests i mean both
performance measures (behavioural tasks) as well as questionnaire
measures.

many thanks for any ideas/suggestions!

Hi!

Recently in another newsgroup (physics.foundations), someone (no
natural scientist, presumably a mathematician) wrote that the esoteric
books from Gurdjeff were based on "objective methods" and such books
would be better to investigate consciousness than by scientific
psychology which would be only "so called" scientific. Obviously, this
mathematician does not know the meaning of "objectivity" in natural
science. Who can help him (Charles Francis alias Oh No)? What is
objectivity? What is science?

see: Physics of Consciousness (# 64)):

There were researches done on poor performance on Stroop Test for ADHD
etc. Some research points of different brain circuit (cingulated etc).
This stroop test tries to emphasize the inhibitory response when
naming a color. I think that stroop test is rather tests excitatory
response. For example people with ADHD has so much excitatory
responses that the inhibiting response (to name the incongruent
colors) just fails. For example, ADHD patients might fail tongue
twisters as well.

Hi all,

I am looking for toolboxes that can handle simulation and/or solution
of
SDE with jumps, say levy processes, jump diffusion processes, etc.
Could anybody give me some pointers to really good ones in R, (or
Maple or
Matlab)? I did google search myself and haven't found much...I would
also like to simulate point processes with complex intensities, such
as those with self-feedback stochastic intensities, such as those used
in neural spike modeling and decoding... Please point me to some
really good packages and popular ones so I can
discuss with fellow users more conveniently...

Thanks!
