The ACME Research and Study Group conducted the first session of the Matlab/Psychtoolbox workshop

The first session of the Matlab/Psychtoolbox Workshop organized by the 'Attention, Computational Models and Eye Movements' (ACME) Research and Study Group took place on March 25, at the School of Psychology.

During the first session participants were introduced to to Matlab (https://www.mathworks.com) and Psychtoolbox-3 (http://psychtoolbox.org), which is a free Matlab and Octave toolbox for psychophysics and neuroscience research. They acquired knowledge and skills essential for programming behavioral and vision experiments including debugging process and techniques as well as the role of Screen and Flip functions in screen updating and timing of an experiment.

The workshop was conducted by Dr. Joe MacInnes (Associate Professor, School of Psychology).
