js-expt-toolbox

This is a tiny js/jQuery toolbox for psychological experiment by Yi-Chia Chen. You may find more resource I collected for online experiment here: https://ycc.vision/Resource/ The example experiment can be viewed here: https://cvlstudy.psych.ucla.edu/ycc/tool/example/?id=1234

Planned Improvements

• End the experiment if people refresh after a certain point in formal experiment (Wait for Safari to support PerformanceNavigationTiming)
• Add method to restart a block
• Write unit tests
