DESCRIPTION:*Title:* An Introduction to Psychtoolbox \n\n*Speaker:* Celia 
 Foster (CBU)\n\n*Abstract:* Psychtoolbox is an open-source toolbox designe
 d to help researchers run psychology and neuroscience experiments with pre
 cise timing. It works as an interface between code in Matlab or Octave and
  your computer’s hardware\, making it easy to present visual and auditor
 y stimuli with high timing precision and to record participants’ respons
 es through devices such as keyboards\, mice\, button boxes\, or touchscree
 ns. Psychtoolbox can also connect with a wide range of neuroscience hardwa
 re\, including eye trackers\, input/output devices (e.g. Arduino boards) a
 nd neuroimaging technology (e.g. fMRI\, EEG\, MEG)\, allowing you to integ
 rate behavioural\, physiological and neuroimaging data in your experiments
 . \n\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of what Psychtoolbox can do a
 nd share practical tips for getting started with coding your own experimen
 ts. You will learn how to create and present different kinds of visual sti
 muli (such as shapes\, images\, text\, and videos) and auditory stimuli (s
 uch as sound recordings\, tones\, or noise)\, all with precise timing cont
 rol. I will also demonstrate how to collect responses from participants us
 ing different input devices. Finally\, I’ll introduce some of Psychtoolb
 ox’s more advanced features for those interested in expanding their skil
 ls. The talk is aimed at complete beginners as well as intermediate users 
 who want to deepen their understanding and make their experiments more eff
 icient.\n\n*Venue:* MRC CBU West Wing Seminar Room and Zoom https://us02we
