• Using MATLAB and Cambridge Research Systems (CRS) Tools for Vision Science
  
  Instructors: Dr Hannah Smithson and Dr Bob Kentridge
  
  A short-course in MATLAB programming for vision science, with emphasis on the CRS ViSaGe and CRS Video Eyetracker Toolbox systems. The course will run at the end of September each year, in the newly formed CRS Robson Suite at the Department of Psychology, Durham University, UK.
  
  The course will run as a series of practical sessions using worksheets and exercises developed as part of Durham University’s MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience. Hannah Smithson and Bob Kentridge will be on-hand throughout the course to offer tuition. The first two days will provide a general introduction to MATLAB programming, for people with little or no previous programming experience, or for those new to MATLAB. The last 3-days will focus on using the ViSaGe (including calibration, basic colorimetry, stimulus presentation and animation, response collection, randomization, psychophysical methods), and on using the Video Eyetracker Toolbox. It is expected that the course will be useful for graduate students and post-docs who are starting out in vision research.
