[visionlist] Training Course: Using MATLAB for Vision Science

[Steve Elliott]

We are pleased to announce a new short-course in MATLAB programming for
vision science, with emphasis on the Cambridge Research Systems ViSaGe
and Video Eyetracker Toolbox systems (see: www.crsltd.com/visage and
www.crsltd.com/hs-vet for information about the equipment). The course
will run for the week of 29th September - 3rd October 2008, 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 the Durham University MSc in
Cognitive Neuroscience. Two experienced researchers (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. The
course fee will be GBP300. Experienced programmers may wish to attend
only for the last 3-days, for a reduced fee of GBP200. It is expected
that the course will be useful for graduate students and post-docs who
are starting out in vision research.

For further information, details of how to reserve a place and college
accommodation in Durham, please contact Hannah Smithson
(hannah.smithson at durham.ac.uk) or Steven Elliott
