Content

The folder Dataanlysis contains script in R and Python to analyse data exactly as described in our paper. The main anlysis used the HDDM package for Python (3.5).

The folder Datafiles contains a .csv file with the data collected in the study in anonymized form.

The folder Paradigm contains scripts for running the behavioural task described in our paper using PsychoPy (http://www.psychopy.org/).

The file pm-volition demo.ogv is a short video illustrating the behavioural task. If the video does not play in your browser, download the file to view the illustration.
