rcicr: Reverse-Correlation Image-Classification Toolbox

Description

Generate stimuli and analyze data of reverse correlation image classification experiments (psychophysical tasks aimed at visualizing cognitive mental representations of faces). For the method see Dotsch and Todorov (2012) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1177/1948550611430272")}; for a practical primer see Brinkman, Todorov and Dotsch (2017) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1080/10463283.2017.1381469")}.

Details

vignette("reverse-correlation-walkthrough") works through a complete experiment. In brief: generateStimuli2IFC creates the stimuli and the .Rdata file recording how they were made, and generateCI or batchGenerateCI turns participants' responses into classification images. citation("rcicr") prints the reference for the software; cite the method papers below as well.
