Install

psyphy only supports python 3.10+. We recommend installing psyphy under a virtual environment. Once you've created a virtual environment for psyphy and activated it, you can install psyphy using pip:

1
pip install psyphy

If you're developer or want to use the latest features, you can install from GitHub using:

3
git clone https://flatironinstitute.github.io/psyphy.git
cd psyphy
pip install -e .

What is in psyphy?

psyphy is an open-source, JAX-based framework for psychophysics research. It leverages GPU acceleration and efficient approximate inference to power Bayesian, active-learning-driven adaptive experiments.

Designed to be modular and extensible, psyphy accelerates research workflows and enables real-time adaptive experiments. While currently focused on human color perception, it can be adapted to other perceptual modalities.
