Neuroscience and Psychology: Visual Perception

Description

This is a course about how we see, perceive, and recognise the world around us.

Vision is our most dominant sense, from which we derive most of the information about the world. From the light that enters the eye and the processing in the brain that follows, we can sense where things are, how they move and what they are. But sometimes, what we see can be drastically different from what another person sees, or even different from the reality leading to visual illusions.

This course demystifies the process through which we see the world. Designed and delivered by an experienced instructor, who is an expert in the field of cognitive neuroscience and psychology, it leads the student through the intricacies of visual processing. This course is designed to make visual perception interesting, accessible, and enjoyable to learn.

You will learn:

• how the visual system works, from the anatomy of the eyes to the visual brain

• how we perceive the different visual features present in our environment: colour, form, size, distance, depth, the 3D, and motion.

• how we recognise and make sense of what we see

• what causes visual and optical illusions

• how visual perception can vary among people

• how visual perception can be affected by brain damage

Visual perception is a fascinating subject and it is one of my students' absolute favourite topics at my university.
