Well I belong to a Cognitive Science lab and we do a lot of computational models of human performance in a wide range of tasks. I have a whole battery of tasks written in PyGame from basic psychological paradigms to 1980's style vector based arcade games. I have pygame versions of various visual search tasks, the n-back task, the flanker task, go-nogo, the antisaccade task, multiple object tracking tasks, SSVEP tasks. They are all capable of integrating with out eye trackers and EEG.
