MATLAB for Neuroscientists second edition is an introduction to MATLAB®, the current standard for scientific computing, written specifically for students and researchers in neuroscience and related fields. It serves as the first comprehensive study manual and teaching resource for the use of MATLAB in the neurosciences and psychology. This book is unique in that it can be used to learn techniques that span the entire empirical and experimental process including stimulus generation, experimental control, data collection, data analysis, and modeling. The aim is to empower beginning users of MATLAB, by enabling them to design and implement their own analytical tools. This book will aid researchers and students in achieving the fluency required to meet the computational needs of neuroscience practitioners.

• Completely revised and expanded second edition keeps up with developments within neuroscience as well as MATLAB
• All computational approaches explained by using genuine experimental data, providing the unique look and feel of real empirical data
• The first comprehensive textbook on MATLAB with a focus on its applications in neuroscience and psychology
• Careful didactic approach focused on problem solving
• Authors are award-winning educators with strong teaching experience
• Companion website availalbe (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123838360/)

MATLAB for Neuroscientists serves as the only complete study manual and teaching resource for MATLAB, the globally accepted standard for scientific computing, in the neurosciences and psychology. This unique introduction can be used to learn the entire empirical and experimental process (including stimulus generation, experimental control, data collection, data analysis, modeling, and more), and the 2nd Edition continues to ensure that a wide variety of computational problems can be addressed in a single programming environment.

This updated edition features additional material on the creation of visual stimuli, advanced psychophysics, analysis of LFP data, choice probabilities, synchrony, and advanced spectral analysis. Users at a variety of levels—advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and researchers looking to modernize their skills—will learn to design and implement their own analytical tools, and gain the fluency required to meet the computational needs of neuroscience practitioners.

• The first complete volume on MATLAB focusing on neuroscience and psychology applications
• Problem-based approach with many examples from neuroscience and cognitive psychology using real data
• Illustrated in full color throughout
• Careful tutorial approach, by authors who are award-winning educators with strong teaching experience
