single grating stimulus, inherits from baseStimulus GRATINGSTIMULUS single grating stimulus, inherits from baseStimulus The current properties are: sf = spatial frequency in degrees tf = temporal frequency angle = angle in degrees rotationMethod = do we rotate the grating texture (1) or the patch itself (0) phase = phase of grating contrast = contrast from 0 - 1 mask = use circular mask (1) or not (0) gabor = use a gabor rather than grating

Public Member Functions
function	gaborStimulus (in varargin)
	Class constructor.
function	setup (in me, in sM)
	Setup this object in preperation for use When displaying a stimulus object, the main properties that are to be modified are copied into cache copies of the property, both to convert from visual description (c/d, Hz, degrees) to computer metrics, and to be animated and modified as independant variables. So xPosition is copied to xPositionOut and converyed from degrees to pixels. The animation and drawing functions use these modified properties, and when they are updated, for example to change to a new xPosition, internal methods ensure reconversion and update any dependent properties. This method initialises the object for display.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

gaborStimulus()

function gaborStimulus::gaborStimulus

(

in

varargin

)

Class constructor.

More detailed description of what the constructor does.

Parameters

args	are passed as a structure of properties which is parsed.

Returns

instance of class.

Member Function Documentation

animate()

function gaborStimulus::animate ( in  me )

virtual

Animate this object for runExperiment.

Reimplemented from baseStimulus.

calculatePhase()

function gaborStimulus::calculatePhase

(

in

me

)

calculate phase offset

calculatePhaseIncrement()

function gaborStimulus::calculatePhaseIncrement ( in  me, in  ignoredArg, in  ignoredArg  )

protected

calculatePhaseIncrement Use an event to recalculate as get method is slower (called many more times), than an event which is only called on update

calculateScale()

function gaborStimulus::calculateScale ( in  me, in  ignoredArg, in  ignoredArg  )

protected

calculateScale Use an event to recalculate scale as get method is slower (called many more times), than an event which is only called on update

draw()

function gaborStimulus::draw ( in  me )

virtual

Draw this stimulus object for display.

Reimplemented from baseStimulus.

reset()

function gaborStimulus::reset ( in  me )

virtual

Reset an structure for runExperiment.

Parameters

rE	runExperiment object for reference

Returns

stimulus structure.

Reimplemented from baseStimulus.

set_driftDirectionOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_driftDirectionOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

set_sfOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_sfOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

set_sizeOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_sizeOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

set_tfOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_tfOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

set_xPositionOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_xPositionOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

set_yPositionOut()

function gaborStimulus::set_yPositionOut	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

setRect()

function gaborStimulus::setRect ( in  me )

protected

setRect setRect makes the PsychRect based on the texture and screen values this is modified over parent method as gratings have slightly different requirements.

setup()

function gaborStimulus::setup	(	in	me,
		in	sM
	)

Setup this object in preperation for use When displaying a stimulus object, the main properties that are to be modified are copied into cache copies of the property, both to convert from visual description (c/d, Hz, degrees) to computer metrics, and to be animated and modified as independant variables. So xPosition is copied to xPositionOut and converyed from degrees to pixels. The animation and drawing functions use these modified properties, and when they are updated, for example to change to a new xPosition, internal methods ensure reconversion and update any dependent properties. This method initialises the object for display.

Parameters

rE	runExperiment object for reference

sf()

function set gaborStimulus::sf	(	in	me,
		in	value
	)

sf Set method

update()

function gaborStimulus::update ( in  me )

virtual

Update this stimulus object for display.

Reimplemented from baseStimulus.

Member Data Documentation

allowedProperties

Property gaborStimulus::allowedProperties

protected

allowed properties passed to object upon construction

aspectRatio

Property gaborStimulus::aspectRatio

aspect ratio of the gabor

contrast

Property gaborStimulus::contrast

contrast of grating

contrastMult

Property gaborStimulus::contrastMult

Contrast Multiplier, 0.5 gives "standard" 0-1 contrast measure.

correctPhase

Property gaborStimulus::correctPhase

do we need to correct the phase to be relative to center not edge?

direction

Property gaborStimulus::direction

the angle which the direction of the grating patch is moving

disableNorm

Property gaborStimulus::disableNorm

should we disable normalisation of the gabor (generally TRUE)?

driftDirection

Property gaborStimulus::driftDirection

reverse the drift direction?

family

Property gaborStimulus::family

ignoreProperties

Property gaborStimulus::ignoreProperties

protected

properties to not create transient copies of during setup phase

phase

Property gaborStimulus::phase

phase of grating

phaseCounter

Property gaborStimulus::phaseCounter

protected

how many frames between phase reverses

phaseIncrement

Property gaborStimulus::phaseIncrement

the phase amount we need to add for each frame of animation

phaseOfReverse

Property gaborStimulus::phaseOfReverse

What phase to use for reverse?

phaseReverseTime

Property gaborStimulus::phaseReverseTime

reverse phase of grating X times per second?

rotationMethod

Property gaborStimulus::rotationMethod

scale

Property gaborStimulus::scale

scale is used when changing size as an independent variable to keep sf accurate

sf
