Hi Morgan. The book is also fully Octave-compatible. Every line of code was tested in Octave 4, and any discrepancies between Matlab and Octave are noted in the code. I also tried to avoid specialized toolboxes when possible, which makes the book more compatible with non-toolbox-loaded Matlab versions.

Hi Mike,

Do you know what kind of octave compat. there will be? Thanks in advance for your time.

Cheers,

Dear colleagues,

There is a new book on MATLAB programming that is designed for masters/PhD/postdoc level researchers. The book is called "MATLAB for Brain and Cognitive Scientists" and is published by MIT Press.

The goal of this book is to teach programming skills from beginner to intermediate/advanced levels (many other learning resources provide only beginner-level training), with a specific focus on the myriad analysis approaches often applied in neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience. Chapters end with many exercises to test and develop programming skills, and there are >9000 lines of MATLAB code to learn from on the accompanying website. An important feature of the book is that it teaches not only how to write good code, but also how to recognize and avoid writing bad or error-prone code.

More information about the book can be obtained from the following websites:
