I'm outfitting a small behavioural lab with a fiscal-austerity-induced budget. I'm considering trying out a Raspberry pi for individual participant systems. My tentative plan is to run linux and code experiments in python.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

My primary concern is whether the processor and video capabilities of the Pi will make it accurate enough in terms of timing. So will the Pi have substantial delay / variability between a call to present complicated visual stimuli (like arrays of Gabors) and the time stimuli actually appear on the screen? Similarly, when a keyboard or mouse button gets pressed, will there be delay / variability in the actual response time and the recorded response time?

thanks for any help or comments.

I'm outfitting a small behavioural lab with a fiscal-austerity-induced budget. It crossed my mind that the Pi probably has the computational oomph to do 99% of what I need. It's got good Python support so experiments could be coded in that language.

What are the features/settings of the Pi that are essential for use in this context, for instance, how do I limit the delay between the initiation of the stimulation routine and the actual presentation of the stimulus?
