Goal
Outline The course is an introduction to the human vision, with specific interests on the computational mechanisms of the visual cortex. The course will cover elementary physiology and psychology, as well as computational algorithms. Home works will be given to facilitate understanding of the essence and reality of the computation.
Course plan Fundamentals of
  visual neuroscience (week 1&2),
  visual psychophysics (week 3&4),
  computational neuroscience (week 5&6).
Cortical representation of visual information (week 7&8).
Computational mechanisms of visual functions (week 9&10).

Homeworks on topics related to the lecture will be given four times during the semister, each of which may require two to three hours.
Textbook Important slides will be given in advance as an online handout.

TF / TA
Misc. The lecturer will introduce a number of topics unfamiliar for students with background of information science. The lecture is designed to provide opportunities that expose students to the world of cognitive neuroscience. Students are encouraged to take good notes during lecture, and research the introduced topics by oneself following the homework problems.
