macOS laptops

This is mostly relevant for coding up experiments off-site, as the console room computer is set up for Windows11/Ubuntu.

# remember to run matlab w/o desktop for MGL
matlab -nodesktop

To get some code running under macOS for developing away from console room requires dealing with Psychtoolbox/macOS madness.

• Some setup notes to make reproducing this easier. There are instructions on how to get the free/open octave to run with the correction version for Psychtoolbox code.

Running MGL code is possible, although it requires re-plugging DVI and USB cables into the VPixx setup, so not advisable.
