What's New in Inquisit 4
Inquisit 4 is a major update of Inquisit that has been years in the making. Our design goals for Inquisit 4 were to extend support to Mac OSX, enhance the power of the product, improve usability, and maintain compatibility with past releases in order to ensure an enticing and smooth upgrade path. We want to make Inquisit an essential tool for anyone conducting computer-based behavioral research. Towards these ends, Inquisit 4 introduces the following new features:
- Mac support!
- Native support for 64-bit Windows.
- A new and improved editor, with support for opening multiple scripts and data files, tab UI, text colorization, improved error feedback, and a script navigation window

- Support for parallel port (PCI, PCI Express) signaling on Mac OS X.
- Gaze point logging and gaze-contigent task paradigms with Tobii eye trackers with the Inquisit 4 Tobii Plugin.
- Ability to right-click elements in the script and run them in isolation
