If you would rather completely code your task yourself, then you can use our online JavaScript Editor. This gives you all the freedom you need to develop any task. Use JavaScript/TypeScript, jquery, HTML and CSS to design and create your study.
You can even integrate third party libraries (jsPsych, voice recognition, feature detection) to collect novel data.

Use the Script Page to add custom scripts into your Tasks, giving you the freedom to adapt tasks built in the task builder to meet your exact requirements.
Copy, use and adapt our existing library of custom scripts straight into your own tasks.
