MATLAB Psychophysics Toolbox-3 (PTB3)
Our group and many others of the institute make heavily use of the features of MATLAB Psychophysics Toolbox 3. The problems that we are studying drove many recent developments and improvements of this toolbox. In particular, most of the recent features in PTB3 (e.g. 3D graphics scripting, GPGPU processing, audio, timing and display management) have been developed and integrated by Mario Kleiner, who is maintainer of this toolbox as well.
