Our lab uses a variety of Matlab code, available on Github here. 

• The Eccentric Vision Toolbox is our core toolbox, with code for stimulus generation (Gabors, line elements, etc), luminance calibration of monitors (plus bit-stealing for higher contrast resolution), and analyses (psychometric curve fitting, line fitting, etc).
  If you find it useful for your own work, please cite it as: 
• Greenwood, J. A. (2021). Eccentric Vision Toolbox [Computer software]. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5226336
• You can also find examples of our computational models, including those for the
  crowding of colour and motion, as reported in Greenwood & Parsons (2020), and
  those used to model crowding in typical and amblyopic development, as reported
  in Kalpadakis-Smith et al. (2022).  

 

Other resources that we frequently use:

• For programming in Matlab:
• Becky Lawson has a fabulous blog outlining resources to get started in Matlab.
• This Twitter thread has another set of useful Matlab resources. 
• Pete Jones has a wonderful set of Matlab scripts for running experiments and analyses. 
• When running experiments, we use Psychtoolbox for stimulus presentation. 
• Peter Scarfe has put together an excellent set of tutorials on Psychtoolbox here. 
• We often use face stimuli from the Radboud face database. 
• For teaching materials and fun images:
• Michael Bach’s illusion blog is an invaluable resource.
• Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s illusion artwork is consistently amazing.
