Hardware

- 2 Dual Xeon workstation with a total of 36 CPU cores for heavy computational modeling, including a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060

Software Tools

- Main software is Matlab, with Psychtoolbox, Cogent 2000 and PsychoPy for doing experiments

- Students have done projects in Python, Java, R etc.

- Recently we have also used Bayesian programming toolboxes such as OpenBUGS, JAGS & STAN
