Code
- Here is some pyjamas code I wrote to
set up a Mechanical Turk study that combines timed image presentation,
playing audio files with HTML5, and recording naturalness ratings. See
a demo here. The
tgz file contains all the files
to make it work. Read the README included in the tgz to get
started. Read the HLPlab
blog entry for more information.
