Abstract

Psychological and neuroscientist research requires precise presentation of stimuli and their connections to cognitive responses. Here, we introduce RatButton, a software for touchscreen research written for iOS devices with a triple role: design, presentation, and monitoring of protocols. It can be used in human and animal experimentation. The main benefits from RatButton are that it has been designed for capacitive touchscreens, that no programming language is needed, and that no PC connection is required. RatButton is also available for easy and flexible VirtuBox environment.
