This course will introduce students to the basics of the MATLAB user interface and programming language, for the purpose of using MATLAB to conduct behavioral research. In the first half of the course, you will learn about MATLAB syntax, general programming concepts such as functions, loops, and conditional statements, and how to analyze and visualize data in MATLAB. In the second half of the course, you will learn to program psychology experiments with the Psychophysics toolbox (a set of MATLAB functions), including displaying stimuli (visual and auditory), and collecting responses from participants.
