Programming

• Unix and OSX Terminal

  • Introduction to UNIX

    • You can skip Tutorial Seven (compiling and Make files), but be sure to check our Tutorial Eight (variables)

    • N.B. I have only glanced at the content of this tutorial.  It should be a good "first introduction" to UNIX.  But there are other things, like scripts, that are integral to the lab, but are not covered.

    • Basic to Advanced Demos for Psychtoolbox by Peter Scarfe

    • PsychToolbox Examples of Visual Cognition Experiments from Krista Ehinger

    • PsychToolbox Demos: try executing and looking at the code for these demos (/Applications/Psychtoolbox/PsychDemos/), e.g.:

    • >> DotDemo

    • >> edit DotDemo

    • For a list of demos:

    • >> help PsychDemos
