The ability to run cognitive and behavioural assessments via the browser has opened doors for reproducibility in behavioural science. In particular, online methods reduce the need to fiercely match the hardware and experimental control implemented in the lab, as a study can be launched anywhere in the world, by any participant on any device. But is this enough? In this talk, Rebecca Hirst (Chief Science Officer at Open Science Tools, the creators of PsychoPy and Pavlovia) will discuss how Open Science can be facilitated in the world of online research.
