As part of our spring Quantitative Research Skills Workshop Series, I held an introduction workshop for MATLAB this afternoon. The presentation was aimed at a completely näive audience — we covered some background of the program and its applications, walked through the interface, did some basic calculations, and heard from a Psychology faculty member who uses MATLAB on a regular basis as part of his neuroscience research. Some useful links, below.
