The Purple Framework
A research-proven multi-tasking platform for workload, stress and performance assessment.
Why Researchers Choose The Purple Framework
Multi-Tasking Power
Run up to four tasks simultaneously to model realistic workload conditions.
Flexible Workload Control
Adjust difficulty, pacing & feedback to match your experimental or applied design.
Research-Proven
Used internationally in peer-reviewed studies on stress, immunity, psychopharmacology & occupational performance.
What is The Purple Framework
The Purple Framework is a modular, Windows-based multi-tasking platform used to assess performance under controlled workload and stress conditions. Researchers can combine up to four tasks, configure workload, manipulate feedback, and log behavioural responses in real time.
- Multi-tasking configurations
- Adjustable workload
- Flexible feedback
- Modular architecture
- Easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface
Validated In Peer-Reviewed Research
Robust Evidence Across Multiple Research Domains
The Purple Framework has been used internationally to investigate stress, immunity, occupational performance, and psychopharmacological interventions. It provides a reliable way to evaluate cognitive workload under realistic multi-tasking conditions.
- Stress & Immunity research
- Psychopharmacological studies
- Occupational psychology
- Teaching & demonstration environments
Example Finding
Workload intensity can produce measurable physiological changes, including short-term variations in secretory Immunoglobulin A (S-IgA), a marker linked to stress and immune function.
Custom Modules for Applied Research
Tailored Task Design for Real-World Environments
We develop bespoke tasks that reflect real-world demands — clinical, safety-critical, educational or occupational. These modules plug seamlessly into the Framework, allowing you to combine domain-specific tasks with the standard library to increase ecological validity.
All custom modules are fully integrated and can be presented alongside standard tasks, enabling you to create controlled yet realistic multi-tasking environments.
