Phase 1 core — ships first; feeds the Open Materials flywheel

Academic & Psychological Research

University labs, departments, individual researchers, and students

The research suite for cognitive, psycholinguistic, and behavioral science labs that need millisecond timing, Arabic-native materials, longitudinal designs, and in-Kingdom data residency.

Publish-ready paradigms without rebuilding Western templates from scratch: full timing engine, Experiment Tree, MENA norms library, CONSORT dashboards, and IRB/PDPIA kits in one Academic workspace.

When to choose this suite

  • You run RT-sensitive or multi-session studies and need calibration + frame telemetry with the data.
  • Your stimuli must be Arabic-normed (frequency, AoA, picture naming) — not translated English lists.
  • IRB or IT requires participant data to stay in me-central-1 with generated compliance kits.
  • Students need free design/pilot and PAYG tokens without an enterprise procurement cycle.

Who it is for

  • P1 · Design persona

    Dr. Fatima Al-Mansoori

    Academic researcher

    Cognitive psychologist at a major Riyadh university — complex designs, precise timing, some Python, prefers visual builders.

    • · Precise online experiments with diverse MENA participant pools
    • · Secure high-fidelity data and faster publication
    • · International collaboration without sacrificing Arabic rendering or residency

    When they use it: Use this suite when the study depends on attentional-control batteries, multi-session continuity, panel recruitment, and CONSORT-grade monitoring.

  • P2 · Design persona

    Ahmed Hassan

    Graduate student

    Master’s student in social psychology in Cairo — new to online experiments, limited programming, thesis on a student budget.

    • · Deploy a first experiment quickly from a template
    • · Collect data cheaply with free pilots
    • · Learn best practices without English-only jargon blocking progress

    When they use it: Use this suite when you need to fork an Arabic-ready template, pilot for free, and pay only for completed thesis sessions.

Signature use cases

UC-1.1

Multi-session, RT-sensitive longitudinal study

Actor

Academic researcher (P1)

When

When the design needs counterbalanced Flanker/Stroop/N-Back blocks, The Shelf across sessions, and panel recruitment of Arabic speakers.

Value

Defensible timing telemetry, dialect-aware sampling, live attrition monitoring, and in-region exports ready for R/SPSS — without stitching three tools together.

Goal: Measure bilingualism effects on attentional control over months with sub-millisecond precision.

  1. Configure an Experiment Tree: demographics, practice, three counterbalanced tasks.
  2. Author Arabic instructions and stimuli with native RTL shaping on the canvas.
  3. Run with VSYNC-locked presentation and performance.now() response stamps.
  4. Persist participant keys on The Shelf across three sessions.
  5. Recruit via Prolific targeting native Arabic speakers; allocate tokens.
  6. Monitor CONSORT attrition; export long-format CSV with integrity flags.

Outcome: Dataset stored in-region; tokens consumed only on Finish-node completion.

UC-1.2

Graduate thesis quick deployment from template

Actor

Graduate student (P2)

When

When coding time and budget are the blockers, and a forkable IAT plus free pilots unblocks the thesis.

Value

Hours to first pilot instead of weeks of setup; PAYG tokens only after the design is proven.

Goal: Run an ingroup/outgroup bias study with MENA stimuli on a student budget.

  1. Browse Open Materials; fork an IAT adapted for cultural concepts.
  2. Swap in curated Arabic words, audio, and portraits from the MENA library.
  3. Preview with the debug console; verify Arabic alignment and mobile touch.
  4. Pilot with peers via WhatsApp — zero tokens in pilot mode.
  5. Purchase a student token bundle and field the study.

Outcome: Thesis data collected, outliers flagged with platform tools, exported.

UC-5.1

Open science forking & citation

Actor

Academic researcher + peers (P1)

When

When the lab wants credit and reuse after a successful Arabic-native study.

Value

Every fork retains automatic citation links — the Open Materials loop that compounds regional infrastructure.

Goal: Publish a paradigm so others can fork it with citation lineage preserved.

  1. Flag a completed experiment as Public Open Materials.
  2. Attach keywords, psychometric tags, and preferred citation format.
  3. Peers discover via Explore, fork, and adapt with lineage retained.

Outcome: Reusable Arabic-native paradigm with citation credit back to the lab.
