Title Computational Visual Neuroscience
Description The course is particularly suitable for master students of psychology with an interest in research methods, computational modeling, visual perception and its neuronal underpinnings. In the first third of the course the fundamentals of computational modeling will be covered, i.e. parameter optimisation and the calculation of goodness-of-fit measures as well as confidence intervals and regions. Thereafter the course emphasises the interplay between computational models, visual behaviour and neuroscientific findings. As examples we will explore the foundations of spatial vision (retina, LGN, V1) as well as object- and face perception (V1, V2, V4, IT).
