Comment/Description

This introductory course is a mixture of lecture, seminar and practical exercises and will emphasise the importance of psychophysics as a central method in human perceptual and sensorimotor research. Beyond gaining an understanding of the underlying theoretical principles, students should also be able to critically assess published studies and design and conduct their own psychophysical experiments by the end of the course. The course will be taught in Englisch.

The course is aimed at highly motivated Bachelor and Master students of psychology, biology and physics who have a particular interest in research.

Admission settings

The course is part of admission "Placement in Course with Limited Space: Visual Psychophysics - From Theory to Experiment".
The course is aimed at highly motivated Master and Bachelor students of psychology, biology, and physics who have a particular interest in research. Prerequisites are completion of the lecture Biologische Psychologie II/Kognitive Neurowissenschaften or an equivalent university course, as well as the preceding course "MATLAB in Biopsychology and Neuroscience" (M.Bio.372) if you do not already have sufficient MATLAB experience.

Pre-registration will allow you to attend a preparatory meeting. Details about the course will be given during this meeting and afterwards you will have the opportunity to confirm your interest in joining the course. The number of participants in this course is limited and participation is only guaranteed after you receive a final confirmation of participation after the preparatory meeting.
