Subject: free software "psylab" available for psychoacoustical experiments From: Martin Hansen <martin.hansen@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 18:17:49 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear List Members, I would like to announce the public availability of the free software "psylab": psylab is a collection of scripts, written in Matlab, for designing and controlling interactive psychoacoustical listening experiments in a uniform and quick manner. Currently, n-AFC detection and discrimination experiments (n=2,3,4) with adaptive control of the stimulus variable according to x-up-y-down algorithms are readily supported, as well as 2-AFC matching experiments. psylab has regularly been used for education and research at the Institut für Hörtechnik und Audiologie (IHA), Fachhochschule OOW in Oldenburg, Germany. One aim of psylab has been to provide the students in the psychoacoustic courses with a uniform and simple starting point for designing one's own listening experiments. So far, more than 120 students at IHA have used psylab for their assignments and theses and their experience and comments have nicely contributed to new features and bug fixes of psylab. The psylab distribution includes a documentation and a number of example experiments.
