【Aim】
  To understand the functions and mechanisms of human visual system for color perception, space perception, motion perception, attention, pattern perception, integration of sensory information, and so on. Phenomenal, structural and computational aspects of the information processing of the visual systems will be explained with latest experimental data.
【Schedule】
  1. Guidance of lecture
  2. Binocular disparity processing
  3. Depth cue integration
  4. Visual development and learning
  5. Visual pattern processing
  6. Local shape codes
  7. Texture vision
  8. High-level processing of global forms
  9. Motion Perception I
  10. Motion Perception II
  11. Interactions across visual modules
  12. Perception of Simultaneity
  13. Color Perception Mechanism
  14. Visual Attention
【Texts, etc】
  We will use PC Projector and VCR for presentation and distribute handouts for notes. Please use the textbooks below for the reference.

【Prerequisite】
  This class requires basic knowledge on human visual system. You can learn the knowledge by reading the textbooks above or through the class "Foundations of Perceptual systems" in spring semester.
【How to Grade】
  Evaluation will be based on the attendance and brief examination in each lecture.
【Message form the Lecturer】
  This course will explain the outline of research process for understanding the properties of visual system in addition to the results of researches (the knowledge of the properties of visual system).
