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 submit your final submissions to the reports folder when you're done!

Introduction and Resources

Training Presentation
​Training Google Drive
Report folder

​Training is divided into different lectures, which you should do in order (Each will be divided into lectures and practice exercises).

If you aren't joining at the start of a quarter and need catching up, feel free to contact me and come in during my working hours and I'll be able to get you up to speed faster than the lectures can. Otherwise you can watch the recording in the google drive and follow along with the training presentation / slide. Instead of adding your submission to the drive, email me your project submissions.

VR Training

Lecture 1
Introduction to the lab and creating a basic environment in unity.
C# Basics

Psychopy Training

Lecture 1

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 3

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 2

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 4

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.
