In-depth exploration of methods by which humans receive and interpret information from the world by vision, audition, taste, smell, touch and movement. Emphasizes the integration of behavioral and neural research with potential applications to engineering practice. Topics cover a wide range from the biological basis of sensory information processing to the behavioral aspects of perception, and to the applications of perceptual theories to disciplines like computer vision, display technologies, graphic design and sound processing. Solid foundation for further coursework and research in neuroscience or psychology; students also gain knowledge that could be useful in various professions.
