<p>I found <a href="http://beta.cognilab.com/" rel="nofollow">Cognilab</a>. At time of posting they are in beta.</p>

<p>It appears to be specifically marketed at academic social and behavioural scientists.</p>

<p>They appear to aim to handle participant recruitment:</p>

  <p><strong>Crowdsource your research experiment using Amazon Mechanical Turk:</strong> Cognilab uses an online crowdsourcing marketplace to recruit from over

<p>But they also seem to encourage using their experimental interface:</p>

  <p><strong>Quickly create experiments using our drag-and-drop interface:</strong>
  Forget about complicated code or hiring programmers. Our drag and drop interface allows you to create academic-quality experiments within minutes and without having to write a single line of code!</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-08-29)

For various reasons it can be difficult to run a Mechanical Turk experiment (i.e., you don't have the technical expertise, you don't reside in the United States, etc.)

**Have any third-party providers arisen with the express purpose of managing the delivery of psychological experiments using Mechanical Turk?**

**Update:** Ideally, I'd like to know not just about how to get around the United States restriction. I'm also interested in services which manage the process and are specifically set up with behavioural science experiments in mind or at least offer a suite of services, one of which is tailored to behaviour science experiments.
