Introduction to the data and model sharing initiative
Aug 7 (evening)
Lecturer: Konrad Körding
The DREAM project should be on the USB drives of a few different students. If you haven't yet, find someone who has the data and get it from them. DREAM can also be downloaded piece-wise (data sets, models, tools, and documentation) from CRCNS: http://crcns.org/data-sets/movements/dream/downloading-dream. You will need to create an account on CRCNS to be able to download the project files.
- If you're familiar with svn and would like info/credentials for code in the repository, contact Ben Walker
Update: Here's the fixed version of LoadDreamPaths.m. (The originally distributed version had Windows directory formatting using '/' and would not work for *nix. This script should work for all OSes.)
Here is a description of data sets currently in Dream. Dream is growing, but this list is accurate as of the time of the summer school.
Cue combination
Aug 8-9
Lecturers: Mike Landy, Paul Schrater
Reading: introductory chapter on cue integration from Sensory Cue Integration
Entire syllabus and exercises
Landy Lecture 1a
Landy Lecture 1b
Landy Lecture 2
Schrater Lecture 1
Schrater Lecture 2
Afternoon Tutorial Session 1
Basic Bayes with Koerding and Wolpert
Tutorial Matlabfile 1
based on Tutorial paper reference
and needs the following data DataSet
Landy/Kojima experiment:
Matlab code and other interesting stuff,
Stimuli, part 1
Stimuli, part 2. Note that the stimuli need to be in subdirectory "stimuli" (relative to the directory with the experimental code), and you will need the MGL toolbox for running psychophysical experiments: http://gru.stanford.edu/doku.php/mgl/beta
You'll need to set the screen variable "scr" to 0 (to run in a window) or 1 (to run full-screen on your primary screen).
Motion Integration Tutorial
Matlab files to implement Weiss et al, 2002
Afternoon Problem Session 2
Try to do 2 out of 3 problems.
Problem 1:
Download this file and simulate Size/Distance Explaining away from Battaglia et al, 2010
Problem 2:
Simulate the Kalman filter model in Haith et. al, 2008 The kalman filter has been implemented for you the matlab filter code , and the simulation model is described in this paper the paper . You will need this as well more matlab functions
Problem 3: This problem explores the discovery of possible cues to facial attractiveness.
Download the following files: the data needed , the instructions , and a gui to view the faces and dimensions
