What you’ll need

download + install julia (the original version was made with v”1.5.0”, but code tested with v”1.11.7” and information about environment added more recently) - as of 2025, juliaup provides a robust way to stay up to date. Instlallation instructions
add packages to fullfil dependencies by activating the environment in REPL (which could be inside VSCode or standalone)

julia prompt

] # enter package mode
activate .  # activate current dir as environment
instantiate  # install packages listed in Project.toml

Then you can try running the code (!NB data files are in parent dir for now (where matlab code lives)).

include("pRF_nls.jl")
# and hopefully figures will pop up
# if not, try to force the display
pboot_  # figure handle
# and

@todo: a Pluto notebook version would be nice
@todo: quick video of running julia code in VS code using extension.
@todo: add bit about command line
@todo: use of BenchmarkTools.jl for getting good timing info
