jsPsych plugin for calling an arbitrary function during a jspsych experiment
npm install @jspsych/plugin-call-functionjsPsych is a JavaScript framework for creating behavioral experiments that run in a web browser.
The call-function plugin allows an experimenter to execute a specified function, allowing various functions to be ran at the experimenter's discretion. It's important to note that the function cannot take any arguments, and must be wrapped in an anonymous function if it needs to be passed any arguments.
Several example experiments and plugin demonstrations are available in the /examples folder.
After you've downloaded the latest release, double-click on an example HTML file to run it in your web browser, and open it with a programming-friendly text editor to see how it works.
Documentation for this plugin is available here.
