Computer Science 692V - S-Making Sense/Visual Data

In this course, we will focus on basic aspects of human perception and attention, and how they are relevant to areas of computer science, such as data visualization, human-computer interaction, and computer vision. We will also explore how applied research in these areas contributes to understanding the basic perceptual and cognitive mechanisms. Topics may include saliency models, memory, mental imagery, motion perception, eye-tracking, ensembling coding, and visual comparisons.
