MUSCLE

MUSCLE (MUSic-related Citizen Science Listening Experiments) is an infrastructure for reusable online music experiments. It can be used by researchers from musicology, music cognition, and other audio related fields to implement experiments through a graphical user interface and Python. MUSCLE presents questions, along with text, audio or visual stimuli, to participants. The participants' response is saved to a database and can be exported to json for analysis in R or other software.
