Abstract
Experimental psychologists have used infrared sensors for many purposes. A new set of readily available components has recently made circuit design and computer interfacing easier, made circuits more reliable, and enabled faster reaction times. Circuits with the new components are compared with equivalent circuits with the old components, and methods of interfacing to the IBM PC and Macintosh are discussed.
