• You'll know how to visualise data with graphs, tables, charts

Course Description

It's time to understand how to code in MATLAB. Whether you're a high school graduate applying to study for a science degree or a healthcare professional looking to advance your coding skills, you've come to the right place.

This course will prepare you and give you a deep understanding of the MATLAB functions that make it a go-to tool for scientists.

Compared to other courses, we split the content of our course into well-structured digestible chunks, making it easier for you to learn and progress systematically.

Some online courses may lack interactive elements like quizzes, and practical exercises.

We think you can only learn to code by actually DOING IT so you can test your understanding with short tests after every section.

Who should take this course?

• Current science students struggling with programming classes.
• Graduate students who want to work in a research lab and have zero coding experience.
• Anyone who wants to study a degree in science at a university level.
• Healthcare professionals who want to learn how to code to improve their career prospects.

Our Course Includes:

• 15 video lectures where each video provides valuable insights and practical applications.
• 30 pages of lesson materials that will enhance your learning experience with meticulously curated lesson plans, ensuring a solid understanding of key topics.
• Downloadable PDF formatted files with lifetime access.
• Practice tests and quizzes so you can test your knowledge and make your learning experience engaging.

Testimonials

Who are your instructors?

We’re Adriana and Ana, Neuroscience graduates from City, University of London, UK. We learned to code in MATLAB when working on our final-year dissertations and interning in decision-making and visual labs.

When we started our Master’s course in Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience, we had no idea that programming is a must-have skill in neuroscience research.

We had zero coding experience and we hadn’t learned much in class.

After reading textbook after textbook, watching all YouTube videos out there and asking for help from experienced programmers, we finally learned how to code experiments in MATLAB and want you to be able to do the same!

Are there any course requirements or prerequisites?

• No coding experience is needed, some experience working with Excel or SPSS would be beneficial.

P.S. you need to download MATLAB software on your computer as well as Psychtoolbox (this is not covered in the course but the relevant download links will be provided)
