This winter we are offering our 3rd Proficio course on programming in MATLAB and Psychtoolbox.
Our goal is to teach you the skills and instill the confidence for you to program your own experiment relevant to your research by the end of the week, regardless of your prior coding experience.
Our goal is to teach you the skills and instill the confidence for you to program your own experiment relevant to your research by the end of the week, regardless of your prior coding experience.
Our course will take you from the fundamentals of coding in Matlab to designing and implementing experiments with Psychtoolbox, with interactive exercises and thorough gudiance at each step.
Respondents to a survey regarding our previous runs of our Proficio course unanimously recommended it, saying the teachers were “very interactive”, “friendly,” and “helped you every step of the way.” Our students have come to the course with a range of prior coding experience, from none at all to programming very often. We seek to meet each student’s needs at their level and encourage students to bring their own projects to work on during the course.
