Description

The world as we perceive it is not "given" to our brains, but must be constructed, based on the pattern of stimulation impinging on the sensory systems. The course examines the psychological and physiological mechanisms underlying how we sense and perceive the world around us. It will cover vision, audition, touch and the chemical senses, but with a particular focus on vision. The relationship among sensation, perception, and attention will also be discussed. This course is not open to students who previously enrolled in PSY 3080.
