Description
CFS toolbox is an open-source collection of MATLAB functions that utilizes the PsychToolbox-3 (PTB-3). It is designed to allow a researcher to run continuous flash suppression experiments using a variety of experimental parameters (e.g., stimulus types and locations, noise presentation, and experiment window settings). Very little knowledge of MATLAB is required; experiments are generated by modifying csv files with the required parameters, and result data are output to text files for further analysis.
If you use the CFS toolbox or part of it in your research, we kindly ask that you cite the following paper:
