| brief description: This course will provide
an introduction to the scientific study of sensation and
perception. We will undertake a detailed study of the major senses
(vision, audition, touch, smell, taste), using insights and methods
from a variety of disciplines (philosophy, physics, computer
science, neuroscience, psychology). We will begin with a study of
the physical basis for perceptual information (e.g., light, sound
waves), and proceed to the biological, psychological,and computational processes by
which such information is converted to percepts in the brain.
