Organizers: Alexis Paez (MathWorks)

Speakers: Mario Kleiner (Psychotoolbox); Celia Foster (Psychotoolbox); Giles Holland (PsychBench); Justin Gardner (Stanford University – MGL Toolbox); Alexis Paez (MathWorks – Open Science); Matthew Abrams (INCF – Neuroscience Working Groups)

Many experimental studies in Vision Science fall within the realm of psychophysics, requiring precision of stimulus presentation combined with quantitative measurement of perception. Psychophysical vision science is accelerated by software tools such as Psychtoolbox (PTB), which enables diverse visual stimuli to be presented to subjects with careful timing of both stimulus and response. This satellite event will convene developers of various psychophysics software packages released with substantial or fully open-source code in MATLAB (a widely-used scientific computing language), to present their latest updates and respond to questions and feedback from the VSS community. The event will also include brief presentations/discussions by MathWorks (makers of MATLAB) and the INCF (an international organization dedicated to open and FAIR neuroscience).
