New Member Training

Hello and welcome to Dr. Arisaka's Elegant Mind Lab! This page has resources for you to start on your training. Please email your final submissions to brianta46@gmail.com and mingda.he@gmail.com once you're done!

Introduction and Resources

Training Presentation
​Training Google Drive

​
Training is divided into different lectures, which you do in order (watch the lectures and work on whatever activities are assigned). The activities may ask you to submit them to the google drive folder, but please email them to me and Brian instead. Watch the recording in the google drive and follow along with the training presentation. Each lesson may also have a more detailed powerpoint inside that will be helpful.

If possible, please contact me and come in during my working hours and I'll be able to catch you up faster than the lectures can.

Lectures 1 / 2

You will be taking data using a version of one of the old protocols that we used in this lab. This will familiarize you with the calibration that we use and the types of protocols that we do.

Lecture 5

Create your own experiment using the Final.py file as a template. This should familiarize you with the basic code we use for our protocols and with editing code that has already been written (which you will do very often).

Lecture 3 / 4

You will be testing the time delay on your personal monitor / computer setup, and there will be an introduction to python and the psychopy IDE / library.
Useful to read through for people who are beginners to coding

Lecture 6 / 7 / 8

You will be learning basic matlab syntax and analyzing the data that you took in lecture 2. After this, create your own analysis code to create graphs and statistical tests for the protocol that you created in Lecture 5.
