MATLAB and its graphical user interfaces (GUIs) streamline psychological experiment development. This platform offers precise control and efficient data management for researchers.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Developing and managing psychological experiments requires specialized software for precise stimulus control and data analysis.
  • Traditional methods can be cumbersome, hindering rapid iteration and complex experimental designs.
  • The need for an integrated, user-friendly platform for psychophysical research is evident.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the utility of MATLAB as a comprehensive platform for psychological experiment development and management.
  • To highlight the benefits of integrating the Brainard-Pelli Psychophysics Toolbox for enhanced experimental control.
  • To illustrate the application of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for intuitive experiment organization and control.

Main Methods:
