In (200300072), I explored the mechanisms of human sensation and perception, bridging sensory systems with their implications for AI interface design. Delivered through lectures and seminar workgroups, the course was assessed via two exams and a presentation. Below is a breakdown of the topics covered:
Introduction to Perception: Studied sensory processes and their research.
Vision Fundamentals: Explored light-to-signal conversion and spatial vision.
Object and Color Perception: Analyzed recognition and color processing.
Depth and Attention: Covered binocular vision and scene perception.
Motion Perception: Investigated motion detection mechanisms.
Hearing: Studied auditory physiology and environmental sound.
Touch and Spatial Orientation: Explored tactile perception and vestibular systems.
Olfaction and Taste: Examined smell and taste processing.
Group Presentation: In a group of three, I delivered a presentation covering a paper on attention.
Skills Gained: Developed critical reading, scientific presentation, and teamwork skills.
