Sensation and Perception

What are the processes that allow us to detect information about our surroundings, recognize people and objects, and perceive depth and motion? This course will focus on the physiological and neural mechanisms underlying sensation (sight, hearing, and touch), the qualitative aspects of human perceptual experience, and how perception and action are interconnected. Color perception, object recognition, space and motion perception, and perception and action are all examined. Prerequisite: PSYC-1200 General Psychology. Annually.
