Perception

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course will review the basics of perception, and then go more deeply into understanding why and how the brain processed visual information in the way that it does. In this course, I will cover several core areas of visual perception in detail, enabling you to understand why visual processing is specialised, and the implications this has for perception and cognition more broadly. The main focus will be on understanding the ways in which behavioural methods can make powerful predictions that allow us to devise and develop theories of how visual information is processed by the human visual system.
