Folks,
Joshua Solomon and I have developed a small piece of software that may
be of use to some vision scientists. Cinematica is a minimal system for
producing calibrated grayscale movies on an Apple Macintosh Computer
from within the Mathematica programming environment. It makes use of
the ISR Video Attenuator and Video Toolbox software library developed
by Denis Pelli and described elsewhere [Pelli, D. G. & Zhang, L.
(1991). Accurate control of contrast on microcomputer displays. Vision
Research 31(7), 1337-1350]. Those who are interested should look at:
