I've put some books on reserve (24hr) at the main library - so you can browse them for material related to our module (please note that the course number is ICOS 202). And don't forget to read my paper on perception of Lissajous figures .
Demonstrations of psychophysical phenomena (such as Lissajous figures) will be shown to the students in this module. I will provide lectures and articles regarding the mathematical nature of perception and the relevance of perceptual issues in artificial visual environments, such as occur during the use of computers and video. I will also give a basic inroduction to those areas of mathematics which are proposed for the models.
Students will be expected to synthesize what they have learned either by writing a paper or designing an experiment. The focus of such papers and designs may be on education, entertainment, or psychophysical research.
We are meeting Tuesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in Reiss 256.
