A Python 3.6 module to generate visual stimuli.

1. Create and activate a virtual environment (Python 3.6).
2. Run pip install --editable ..

To install pycairo:

1. Download the wheel here (i.e. Windows binary).
2. Install it with: python -m pip install <path to wheel>.

The module provides a console command: pystim. Run pystim --help to get the proper command syntax (i.e. a list of the correct command-line arguments or options acceptable to pystim).

Datasets of natural images:

• DOVES: A Database Of Visual Eye MovementS
• van Hateren Dataset:
  • Paul Ivanov's mirror
  • Philipp Lies' mirror

• Add default path.
• Handle parameters (global, local (file), local (command line)).
• Add controls (perturbed grey image).
• Generate files used for the analysis.
• Save configurations used during stimulus generations.

• Create a euler_luminance_profile.csv file.
  • Use uint8 instead of float for luminance value.
• Check that k_max is always inclusive in CSV files.
  • Especially for euler.csv.
• Check if repetitions in euler.csv are always of the same length (+10?).
• Improve the flashed images.
  • Add negative contrasts.
    • Check the generation of perturbed frames.
  • Correct the generation of fipwc_combinations.csv.
  • Change slightly the perturbations
    • Freeze only some of the perturbations.
      • How many (less than the number of dimensions)?
    • Complete with random perturbations.
  • (option) Correct check overflows.
    • Always use an even number of checks (horizontally and vertically).
