I am planning to use MATLAB (Mac version 5) and the   
psychphysics toolbox. I have never used MATLAB, and I have   
some experience with other languages (e.g., C). I am seeking   
recommendations for a good MATLAB book for beginners. As a   
psychologist, I'm concerned that most MATLAB books will be   
written for engineers and others with strong mathematics   
backgrounds. Thus I am hoping for some advice from psych   
toolbox users about which books are clear about those features   
that we are most likely to use.  
Cheers,
