Prerequisites : Consent of the instructor, Ennio Mingolla.
The 2000 edition of this course offers an advanced survey of selected topics of current interest in the neural and computational modeling of psychological data in mammalian vision. Topics include perceptual grouping and completion, transparency, and figure-ground phenomena. This year, several classes will be held at laboratories of nearby institutions. Students are expected to have a sufficient interdisciplinary grounding in the fundamentals of mammalian vision to read primary research sources extensively, and will be required to present short oral critiques of selected readings to the class. A term project that combines a problem statement, literature review, and either (1) simulation of a model or (2) a design for a pyschophysical experiment is also required.
