This course introduces students to the field of perception with a special emphasis on vision. Perception is central to our daily interactions with the world: we can effortlessly navigate through a city, comprehend fast movie trailers, and find a friend in a crowd through visual and auditory perception. While we take the rich perceptual experience for granted, visual perception involves a series of complicated cognitive processes beyond just opening our eyes. The course covers both existing theoretical frameworks and recent research findings in the field of visual perception. We will explore questions such as: How do we see the visual world?
