This course will provide an in-depth examination of research in the field of visual cognitive neuroscience. Topics will include the visual perception of object features (shape, colour, texture), the perception of high-level categories (objects, faces, bodies, scenes), visual attention, and comparisons between the human and monkey visual systems.
Priority will be given to students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience, and the Specialist/Specialist Co-op and Major/Major Co-op programs in Psychology and Mental Health Studies. Students in the Major program in Neuroscience and the Minor program in Psychology will be admitted as space permits.
