Produktbeschreibung
The second edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of MATLAB and specific tools for creating experiments and analysing data in psychology. In addition to an enhanced focus on connections with external devices and writing experiments, all chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated to provide the latest information and examples compatible with the most recent versions of MATLAB. All scripts have been tested to ensure a reliable and exact response. In addition, the book provides detailed examples of classic experiments (e.g., the Posner task) as well as recommendations for structuring and implementing ad hoc experiments. Each chapter is accompanied by several illustrations, examples, and code to match every reader's expertise and comfort level. This concise volume demonstrates MATLAB's responsiveness to individuals' research needs, whether the task is programming experiments, creating sensory stimuli, running simulations, or calculating statistics for data analysis.

Key areas of coverage include:

Thinking in a matrix way.Handling and plotting data.Guidelines for improved programming, sound, and imaging.Statistical analysis and signal detection theory.Psychophysics Toolbox and its use in connection with external devices.

MATLAB for Psychologists, Second Edition, serves a wide audience of advanced undergraduate and graduate level psychology students, professors, and researchers as well as lab technicians and other professionals involved in programming psychology experiments.

Rezensionen
From the book reviews:

"The reviewed book is written to help newcomers in using MATLAB for research in experimental psychology, including others. ... Different experiment scripts are presented in the book to enhance readers' ability to write MATLAB scripts of their own. Each chapter lists explanation tables, functions declaration, and aspects of different declaration values." (Adriana Horníková, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (2), May, 2013)

"The authors have produced a tutorial-like handbook that might be suitable for lab use in courses where students may have no previous programming experience. It is organized into ten easy-to-read chapters. ... The book is clearly written ... . This book includes some interesting examples from psychology research, which might also be useful in courses for nonpsychologists. ... In summary, this book is a pragmatic hands-on tutorial on MATLAB that might be useful to scientists ... including most psychologists and social scientists." (Fernando Berzal, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2012)
