PSY315: Perception II
Recent research has seen a rapprochement between different approaches to the study of mechanisms of human perception including animal neurophysiology and human psychophysics. This unit deals with a number of advanced topics in perception, concentrating on current research in vision, including recent evidence for parallel processing in higher areas of human and monkey visual cortex and recent work on the perception of orientation, motion, mechanisms of attention, consciousness, reading and reading disabilities, and perceptual development. Important components of the unit will be a research report to be completed by each student and the design and execution of a small psychophysical experiment.
