"This book is an incredible resource for both novice and skilled programmers. Coding textbooks will usually describe a correct method for doing various tasks, but we often encounter obstacles or bugs that don’t have an obvious solution. MATLAB Blues is a treasure trove of practical examples of the kinds of problems that can mire even an expert coder. By working through such examples, either as a standalone or in concert with another instructional book, any programmer will accelerate their journey in the learning of coding skills." - Brad Wyble, Associate Professor of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University, USA"Professor David Rosenbaum, internationally renowned for his psychological research in the area of Action and Movement Control, delivers another very useful MATLAB volume every psychology and motor control lab should have on its shelves. There are many MATLAB traps for the unwary and the purpose of this book is to help researchers anticipate and avoid many of them. The book is written at a level suited to graduate or postdoctoral psychologists and I fully concur with Prof. Rosenbaum's suggestion that it will be relevant to frequent MATLAB users and not just beginners. I will certainly recommend students in my lab to buy this book now and save hours trying to sort incomprehensible MATLAB errors in the future." - Alan Wing, Sensory Motor Neuroscience Lab, School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK"The many short programming examples in this book are useful for all MATLAB users who want to make most of MATLAB. The programming problems and their elegant solutions are not only easy to comprehend but they are also helpful building blocks for developing one’s own MATLAB scripts. The book is useful for beginners and even advanced users of MATLAB who want to learn more about MATLAB by studying concrete and frequently encountered problems that are both interesting and challenging." - Rolf Ulrich, Department of Psychology, University of Tübingen, Germany"Dr. Rosenbaum’s books are 'just right' for individuals who do not have prior experience in programming. Most students open the book with a doubtful mind about writing their own code. When finishing the book, they turn into confident individuals who can code and program for their own research. This new book, in particular, teaches students to learn from mistakes, which is the most common pathway of learning. Dr. Rosenbaum is the bravest scientist to share his own mistakes for the benefits of everyone who wants to learn MATLAB."- Zheng Wang, Assistant Professor, Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Florida, USA
