[Rcicr-users] Obtaining Noise Image

[Dotsch, R. (Ron)]

Dear Rodrigo,

I need more information to help you out. What is the code you use to generate the images? And which two images do you mean?

With respect to using the stat4CI toolbox on sinusoid noise like I did in the SPPS paper: I would recommend not following the method I used as it is very unclear how to compute the z-scores with these noise patterns. A different approach to compute z-scores is given by http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00592, which I would recommend following.

Best,

Ron

Dear Ron,

Thank you for your reply. I read your post and tried the code posted by Daniel as well as yours (someCI$ci), using my data. However, both images are not identical, so now I am wondering which one I should use. My goal is to generate a noise image that I can use for the analysis done with the matlab toolbox stat4CI, as described in Dotsch, R., & Todorov, A. (2012). Reverse correlating social face perception. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 3 (5), 562-571. Any help/guidance with this will be much appreciated.

Best,

Rodrigo

Hi Dan,

This looks fine to me. If you have a ci object, for instance the output of:

someCI <- generateCI2IFC(…)

you can get the raw noise in a 512x512 pixel matrix without base image using:

someCI$ci

This is not well-documented yet, but you can rely on it (so does rcicr).

Best,

Ron

Hello,

I am writing the listserv to get some feedback on how to obtain just a noise image from a reverse correlation task (i.e., without the base image). Through looking at the documentation, I believe this is possible, although there are not many examples or supporting documents to confirm my suspicious. As such, I wanted to make sure my code was actually giving me what I want it to give me.

----R code----

data <- read.csv("rcicrData1.csv")

##Apparently this is unneeded for creating just a noise image?##
n <- 'rcicrdata.Rdata'

responses <- as.vector(data$correct)

s <- generateNoisePattern(img_size = 512, pre_0.3.0 = TRUE)

noise <- generateCINoise(data$Face, data$correct, s)
image(noise) #it's in color?

##output grey scale image##
jpeg("Noise_img.jpg",
     width = 512, height = 512, units = "px")
par(mar = rep(0,4))
image(noise, axes=FALSE, col = grey(seq(0,1, length = 512)))
dev.off()

---End Code---

Any thoughts, suggestions, or critiques would be appreciated! Again, I am looking to output a noise image from RC data, much like generating a CI, but without the base image underneath.

Thanks,
Dan
