ABSTRACT

We will now jump straight into MATLAB instructions that are immediately relevant to scripting an experiment. I will assume that you have successfully installed and tested Psychtoolbox (although admittedly this can be a little complicated!) Full instructions are on the download pages of the Psychtoolbox website (https://psychtoolbox.org/download/). To check whether Psychtoolbox is installed, you can type ver in the MATLAB command window and see whether it is listed). Basic instructions about installation often change as software is updated, so it is important to become familiar with how to find such information when necessary. In fact, there are very few problems you will encounter that Google cannot solve either with a link to a forum or a help page. An advantage of MATLAB is that the online help pages, documentation and communities are very good. It is highly likely that other people have previously solved your problem, and their solutions can be found online.
