Type/Form
Participants * Anyone who wants to get a beginners introduction to Matlab.
* The course aims for
* 1st year Masters students in Biology and Psychology.
* PhD students from the GGNB programs.
* advanced Bachelor students with experience in empirical data collection and analysis (space allowing).
* No prior computer programming experience is needed. Basic skills in statistics, math and data handling are helpful.
Pre-requisites The course will teach the basics of Matlab and introduce tools that are often used in Psychology and Neuroscience. You will learn the skills needed to understand existing Matlab code and to develop your own Matlab programs.

The course consists of two parts: 

* a more theoretically oriented lecture with practical examples (2h/week),
* a tutorial in which the weekly homework exercises will be discussed (2h/week).

In order to be able to follow the lecture contents throughout the course period, it will be mandatory that the participants invest significant time into the weekly exercises.
