Psychological & Brain Sciences 891V - 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.

Open to graduate Psychology and Computer Science students. This class will be designed to give researchers in computer science and cognitive psychology an opportunity to interact and trade ideas and research methodologies.

Open to graduate students in Psychology and Computer Science. Other graduate or undergraduate students with instructor approval.
