Build multimedia experiments and millisecond-accurate reaction-time studies with MediaLab and DirectRT. Trusted by academic researchers since 1997.
Two complementary tools: MediaLab for questionnaires and multimedia experiments, DirectRT for tasks where every millisecond counts. They work great alone — and even better together.
Easily create questionnaires and multimedia experiments with a wide variety of question formats. Present Word documents, HTML, PowerPoint, audio, video, and images — then get clean data files ready for Excel or SPSS.

Designed for cognitive and perception tasks that demand millisecond precision. Quickly construct reaction-time tasks in a spreadsheet and gather response data with extreme accuracy — no programming required.
Learn more about DirectRTDrop a DirectRT session into any MediaLab questionnaire: MediaLab passes along subject and condition IDs, DirectRT runs the precision trials, and MediaLab resumes where it left off. Both write clean data files that import straight into Excel or SPSS.
Design experiments in an intuitive interface or your favorite spreadsheet. Most researchers build their first fully functional experiment in 15–20 minutes.
DirectRT is 100% DirectX, with response timing synchronized to the screen display — eliminating 10–17 ms of random error that plagues ordinary software.
Both programs write friendly single-file output with variable definitions included, plus utilities for merging data collected across multiple computers.
