Beschreibung
In this description I try to give you a good estimate of the level of the course, what you will learn, and what it is good for. Please read it up to the end.
In one sense the course "Action & Cognition Visual System" is an advanced course. We take a deep dive into the hierarchical structure of the visual system, look at the details of concepts like receptive fields, dorsal/ventral pathway, what methods like EEG and fMRI really measure, the intricate effects of attention, object recognition and more. In case you have heard sensory physiology or courses like fundamentals of neuroscience, that's super good, but the material of this course typically goes well beyond that level. Be prepared to work hard over the whole term in order to gain a deep understanding on how the brain works.
In another sense, this course is a basic course. It provides you with the tools to join other courses like "Action & Cognition Higher cognitive functions", "Action & Cognition Motor system", and all the Action & Cognition seminars. Joining these courses without attending "Action & Cognition Visual system" before is discouraged. Further, in case you ponder the idea to work on your BSc or MSc thesis in my group, a Quest/internship, lab rotation, yes, I'll expect you to master the material of the course "Action & Cognition Visual system" and might take the freedom to check. That is, going in the direction of computational/cognitive neuroscience, this course is a very good start.
The course covers Cortical areas & V1, Beyond receptive fields, V2 & Pathways, Neurophysiological methods, Dynamics, Overt attention, Covert attention, Color & synaesthesia, Neglect & imagery, V4, Object recognition & IT. You will learn to answer questions like "What are the differences and commonalities of “binding by synchronisation” and the “communication through coherence” hypotheses?", "Give a description and interpretation of the timing of responses and attentional effects in areas V1, V2 and V4. ", and "How do category selective neurons in prefrontal cortex respond to gradual morphing suitably chosen stimuli. ". Further, I love why questions, they help to understand.
