S-CognNeurosci/HiLvlVision&Mem

This course will examine high-level vision and memory from a cognitive neuroscience perspective. We will discuss current brain-based theories of high-level vision and memory, including accounts of visual object recognition, accounts of recognition memory and accounts of amnesia. We will examine the organization of these functions in the brain: Does the brain contain a "module" for faces? Do we have a brain region specialized for "expertise"?

ST- Videographic Essay

What is possible when the mode of film scholarship departs from the printed word and inhabits the form of the media it examines? As the media environment evolves, engagements with film are branching out, with promising adaptation to niches in the digital landscape - social media, podcasting, websites and blogs, etc.- and out of this field, the videographic essay emerges as a powerful medium for the film scholar. This is a course in planning, scripting, and editing videographic essays in film scholarship.

Film Theory

This course provides an in-depth overview of key theoretical approaches to the study of cinema by examining historically significant ways of analyzing film form and its social and cultural functions and effects. The course seeks to equip students with a command of the diverse history of theoretical frameworks for understanding the medium and experience of cinema, from early concerns over film?s relation to other arts to the way the movie as a cultural form has been reconceptualized within the contemporary explosion of new media.

ST- Film Festival Curation

Since the first film festival in Venice in 1932, film cultures around the world have seen an ever-expanding field of festivals of all imaginable varieties, from local, niche celebrations to vast, international events. Film festivals gather together remarkable films for exhibition and recognition, whether juried competitions conferring awards or programs curated to celebrate selected works of cinema.

S- Emotion, Affect and Memory

This course explores the cultural politics of memory, affect and emotion at the intersection of two discourses: Postcolonial Theory, born of the history of decolonization, and Memory Studies, which grew out of the Holocaust and its aftermath. It considers comparative lexicons of trauma, working through, (in)visibility, otherness and "other others," resistance, solidarity and various types of memory including collective, cultural, post-, prosthetic, competitive, transcultural and multidirectional.

Bioinstrumentation

This course is intended to provide biomedical engineering students with an understanding of the principles and devices of biomedical instrumentation with emphases on analog and digital electronic circuits, transducers, instruments, and measurements for obtaining information from human body and/or biological systems.

Programming w/Data Structures

This course introduces and develops methods for designing and implementing abstract data types using the Java programming language. The main focus is on how to build and encapsulate data objects and their associated operations. Specific topics include linked structures, recursive structures and algorithms, binary trees, balanced trees, and hash tables. These topics are fundamental to programming and are essential to other courses in computer science.
