PSYCH 250: High-level Vision: Behaviors, Neurons and Computational Models (CS 423)
Vision is one of the most important sensory modalities for intelligent living organisms as well as robots and machines. This advanced level reading class will emphasize an interdisplinary approach aimed at understanding vision from several disciplines: neurophysiology, psychophysics, cognition, algorithms and computational models. Class will focus on the problem of scene understanding, covering topics from multiple perspectives drawing on recent research in psychology, neuroscience and computer science. Emphasis will be placed on ongoing debates in the field, and discussion of recent empirical findings. Topics include: Theories of visual recognition for scene perception. What are the behavioral and cognitive characteristics of scene perception, and their connections to objection recognition. What are the neural computations that underlie scene perception? What are the roles of attention, expectation and experience in shaping scene recognition? What are the current state-of-the-art computational models for scene perception? Recommended but nor required:
