[visionlist] Training Course: Using Matlab and CRS Tools for Vision Science

[SMITHSON H.E.]

The next training course, "Using Matlab and CRS Tools for Vision Science", will run from 14th - 18th September, 2009.

 

http://www.crsltd.com/corp-info/training/index.html

 

 

Course outline:

 

The course will run for 5 days (2-days primarily working on Matlab programming skills, and 3-days on CRS / ViSaGe / Eyetracker techniques). We plan to cover the following topics:

 

-- Monday: Introduction to Matlab (arrays, indexing and loops)

-- Tuesday: Programming in Matlab (structuring a computer program)

-- Wednesday: Stimulus display (including timing-critical issues); Response collection and handling.

-- Thursday: Setting up your ViSaGe (including calibration); More on stimulus specification.

-- Friday: CRS video eyetracker toolbox; Spatial stimuli and animation.

 

The course will be "hands on" with ample opportunity to practice your skills. We expect to work for the full 5 (or 3) days, from 9am-5pm.

 

Cost:

 

The cost will be £500 for 5 days, (or £350 for 3-days, for people who are already competent and confident with Matlab).

 

If you would like to reserve a place on the September course, we are now ready to receive payments (details below). Places will be reserved in the order that we receive confirmed payments. Obviously, places are limited.
