Opis

This accessible text walks behavioral science students and researchers through the process of programming using MATLAB. Each chapter opens with a list of objectives followed by new commands required to accomplish those goals. Chapters cover how to write clear programs followed by pointers for interacting with MATLAB, including its commands and how to read error messages, how to store and access data, how to design programs to create dialogs with users, how to carry out calculations, how to write a program as a stand-alone module, how to create animations and sounds, how to use MATLAB with applications such as GUIs and Psychtoolbox. Intended as a primary text for Matlab courses for advanced undergraduate and/or graduate students in experimental and cognitive psychology and/or neuroscience as well as a supplementary text for labs in data (statistical) analysis, research methods, and computational modeling (programming), and individual researchers.
