Exam & Grading
The presentation is considered as the exam and will be graded based on the effort and quality of the presentation (50%) as well as the experiment’s code (50%).

Objective
The students get familiar with foundations of MATLAB programming and Psychtoolbox for designing vision research experiments, mostly psychophysical experiments. The students will read a classical paper in a group of ~4, try to design the experiment in the paper, and present it to the class. 

Learning targets
Students will learn the fundamentals of Psychtoolbox (a precise and widely used toolbox to design psychophysical experiments) and will be able to apply this knowledge in designing vision experiments.
