Optical and Neural Limits to Vision

3 credits · Graduate

The course will provide an overview of the early stage limits to human vision, from the eye?s optics to sampling and processing in the retina. Students will learn basic optical properties of the eye as well as objective and subjective techniques on how to measure limits of human vision. The class will comprise a combination of lectures and active learning by the students in the form of a project, to be presented at the end of the semester. This is one of the four courses that form the Vision Science core curriculum.
