If I were starting my online research journey, I would definitely choose Gorilla, for the ease of use and the wide range of features.

Alex Jones

Face perception, evolutionary psychology, computational modelling
Lecturer
Swansea University

Gorilla lets me focus on analysing results and testing ideas, rather than spending weeks programming experiments from scratch.

Kyle Jasmin

Cognitive Neuroscience Researcher
Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow
Birkbeck University of London

I moved to Gorilla for behavioral testing because of how simple it is to pilot tasks and stimuli online. It also makes collaboration very easy.

Casey L. Roark

Cognitive Psychology, Multisensory Perception
Assistant Professor
University of New Hampshire

What took about a month in person, we collected data via Gorilla in under 48 hours.

Will Saban

Cognitive Neuroscience
Assistant Professor
Tel Aviv University

Gorilla significantly reduced the technical and logistical burden of building and deploying complex experiments.

Adam John Privitera

Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, Education
Research Scientist
Nanyang Technological University

Using Gorilla, I was able to continue online data collection during COVID and recruit a large and diverse bilingual sample.

Adrian Banks

Cognitive Psychology Researcher
LectureSenior Lecturer
University of Surrey

I was able to put together my first simple experiment very quickly within a few hours and ran it the next day.

Danni Peng-Li

Sensory and Consumer Neuroscience
PhD Fellow
Aarhus University

In comparison to other online platforms, the feature of accurately measuring reaction times is unprecedented.

Joseph Devlin

Consumer Neuroscience
Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience
UCL

For behavioural experiments, Gorilla is really easy-to-use, convenient and scalable.

Kirsty Graham and Cat Hobaiter

Primatology, Comparative Psychology
Research Associate
University of York

We recruited almost 15,000 participants… we would never have been able to reach that number without the Gorilla platform and it's team.

Gorilla was available in both GUI and coding interfaces. It was modular and easy to implement.

Angelos Krypotos

Fear, Pain, Avoidance
Assistant Professor
Utrecht University and KU Leuven

Gorilla was a life saver when moving all my research online due to COVID. Tt was quick and easy to learn.

Jen Pink

Psychopathy and offending
PhD student
Swansea University

Gorilla has one of the most responsive support teams I have ever encountered in both my prior professional career and, more recently, in academia.

Nicholas R. Harp

Social and Cognitive Psychology, Affective Neuroscience
Graduate Student, Research Assistant
University of Nebraska-Lincoln

I’m a big fan of how version control is built into the site and readily accessible. Multiple experiments can be completed within a single project.

Elena Benini

Executive Function, Cognitive Control
PhD Student
RWTH Aachen University

Students can get the gist of Gorilla quickly - they can work independently on their own experiments and collaborate on others.

Graham Flick

Cognitive neuroscience and neurolinguistics
PhD Student
New York University

Using Gorilla, I can collect the large-scale norming data I need and build a functioning experiment in a single afternoon.

Jade Pickering

Learning and long-term retention of information
Postdoc
University of Southampton

Using Gorilla, I was able to set up and run multiple pilots and full experiments quickly, collecting high-quality data within weeks rather than months.

Madeleine Pownall

Social Psychology
Postgraduate Teaching Assistant and PhD researcher
University of Leeds

Gorilla has so many different ways to get help, which is fab when you’re an early career researcher figuring out this stuff as you go.

Mircea Zloteanu

Lie Detection, Emotions, Decision-Making, User Behaviour, Investigations
Forensic Psychology Lecturer
Teesside University

Gorilla is a very versatile tool, having the data automatically recorded and easily exported is a huge time-saving benefit.

Xiao Hu

Memory, Metacognition, Computational Modelling
PhD Student
Beijing Normal University

I was able to collect pilot data in only a few hours and refine the tasks within a day or two.

Violet Brown

Speech Perception
PhD student in Psychological and Brain Sciences
Washington University in St. Louis

Gorilla’s interface was intuitive, enabling quick and effective study design.

Răzvan Jurchiș

Post-doctoral researcher
Babeș-Bolyai University

Gorilla allows me to collect large amounts of data in a short time, with reduced effort.

Marissa Vander Missen

PhD Student
University of Delaware

Gorilla made remote data collection easier and significantly reduced experiment build time.

Max Rollwage

Decision-making, metacognition, computational modelling
PhD Student
Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging

Gorilla made it possible to run bespoke metacognitive tasks online with large, diverse samples — something we could never achieve in the lab.

Bryony Payne

Cognitive Neuroscience
PhD student
University College London

The flexibility that Gorilla provides with such a simple build process is astounding!

Matthew Hunt

Linguistics
PhD Student
Queen Mary University of London

Gorilla’s experiment builder let me run a complex auditory categorisation task with clean data, automatic quality checks, and no coding.

Nadine Lavan

Voice Perception Research
Post Doc
UCL

It is really easy and intuitive to use Gorilla. It is amazing how quickly anyone can set up a study from scratch.

Sahira van de Wouw

Cognitive Neuroscience
PhD Candidate
Royal Holloway University of London

Online methods speed up the entire research process. For me, working with Gorilla was a great way to start my PhD.

Claire Gothreau

Political Behavior; Gender and Politics; Political Psychology
PhD Candidate
Temple University

Because of the intuitive design, Gorilla made it much faster and easier for me to program my experiment.

Jessica Massonnié

Psychology
PhD Student
Birkbeck

I think Gorilla is a wonderful opportunity for students and early career researchers to design their project without the barrier of learning how to program.

As soon as we saw a demo of the site it was immediately clear that it was the only suitable platform available, achieving far more than we though possible.

Maša Vujović

Department of Language and Cognition
PhD student
UCL

Online data collection is far less time-consuming and lets us run well-powered studies that would be impossible in the lab.

Yanina Prystauka

University of Agder, UiT The Arctic University of Norway

You can open the tool for the first time and build a simple experiment already the same day.
