Vision X

Humans are highly visual animals. What we see shapes our daily experience, our memories, and even our dreams. This course explores vision from multiple perspectives, focusing on the anatomy and physiology of the visual system and the neural basis of perception. We will consider how vision evolved and contrast human vision with light-guided behaviors in other species. We will also examine the neural basis of visual disorders, the development of prosthetic visual systems, and what illusions and art reveal about how we see.
