Class Details
When you open your eyes, you immediately perceive your environment in great detail. Seeing is so quick and effortless that people mistakenly think that vision works like a camera. However, the reason it feels effortless is due to the tremendous amount of complex processes and computations that take place in your brain whenever you open your eyes. In this course, we will explore such processes from a computational perspective. How does cognitive psychology approach visual perception? What is the relationship between perception and cognition? How can we experimentally study visual consciousness? In addition to exploring such questions, we will also examine how our visual system processes certain visual features in our environment, such as motion, color, depth and shape.
