First meeting time:
8:30 to 10:00 Tuesdays
Meeting Place: Elliott Hall N227
Adaptability is a hallmark feature of biological systems and is a crucial aspect
of human perceptual and cognitive function. Perceptual learning, adaptation,
and priming are aspects of adaptability that are well-known, but the relationship
between perceptual behavior and neurobiological mechanisms are not well understood.
This seminar will bring together psychophysical, magnetic resonance imaging,
neuroscience, and computational perspectives with the aim of understanding the
mechanisms of adaptation and priming and their role in perceptual and cognitive
function.
Format: Discussion of journal articles led by seminar members. Students can
sign up for 1-3 credits. Students who register for 2 or 3 credits will prepare
a term paper or term project on a related topic.
*If you plan do to a final paper/project on human vision or neuroimaging, register
for: Sheng He's Psy 8993 Section 024 Directed Studies: Special
Areas of Psychology and Related Sciences : 57513, or Gordon Legge's and Dan
Kersten's Topics in Visual Perception, Psy. 8-031.
*If you plan to do a final paper/project on computational approaches to vision
or neuroimaging, register for: Dan Kersten's Psy 8036 Special
Topics in Computational Vision.
*If you wish to attend and participate without doing a final term project, you
may sign up for: 1 credit under Psy. 8-031 or Psy 8993 Section 024.
This seminar will be connected with a Computational Neuroscience Conference to be held at the University of Minnesota, April 16 and 17, 2004 on "COMPUTATIONAL NEUROIMAGING: ADAPTATION AND PRIMING".
