A compilation of ISETBio video tutorials, organized by presenter/series. See also the video tutorials for ISETCam and its related repositories and the ISET3D wiki, which has ISET3D's own video material.
All YouTube links below were checked and are currently public. The two Google Drive links and the Zoom recording link could not be verified the same way (they require Google/Zoom account access to actually view) - if one of them fails for you, that's expected, not necessarily a dead link.
2020 ISETBio tutorial series - the core walkthrough of ISETBio's computations, presented in Home's "Watch the introduction" section:
- Representing a visual stimulus - the scene (spectral radiance) representation for planar stimuli (e.g., a display monitor)
- Computing the cone excitations
- Eye movements and photocurrents - fixational eye movements and cone photocurrent
- Contrast sensitivity - predicting contrast sensitivity of a spatially localized harmonic (Gabor patch)
- Intro to tools for contrast threshold calculations - introduction to tools for generating contrast sensitivity functions and other threshold predictions
Color science lecture and Matlab tutorial series:
- Lecture on color matching functions and cone fundamentals - developing the matrix-vector representation; shows that cone fundamentals are a linear transformation of color matching functions
- Matlab tutorial: color matching functions, cone fundamentals, cone isolating stimuli, and color space transformations - Part 1 of 4. See the header comments at the start of the video for the location of code and its dependencies; watch the lecture above first for background
- Part 2 of 4
- Part 3 of 4
- Part 4 of 4 - closes the series with cone fundamentals derived from dichromatic confusion lines (Konig fundamentals)
- Rendering a spectrum - rendering a spectrum on a three-primary display, using a Matlab tutorial
- Depth of field for physiological optics
- Chromatic aberration: A critical element of human vision - some days, Dave and Brian say to one another that chromatic aberration - inescapable because our eyes are made of water - is critical to a huge amount of visual neuroscience
- The CSF Generator, Part I (2020, Google Drive)
- The CSF Generator, Part II (2020, Google Drive)
- Hex Space-Varying Cone Mosaic Absorptions - a video of the space-varying, hexagonal cone lattice and the cone excitations in response to a harmonic stimulus
- 2024 - ISETBio series of 4 video tutorials, OSA Fall Vision Meeting
- Integration of ISETBio and ISET3d - Brian Wandell and Joyce Farrell. Computing from a 3D PBRT scene through physiological optics to retinal irradiance and then cone excitations.
- 2022 - ISETBio and ISET3d OSA Webinar - David Brainard and Brian Wandell. This is a Zoom recording link and may expire or require an account; if it no longer works, it needs to be re-hosted or removed.
