PSYD54 – Current Topics in Visual Recognition

An intensive examination of selected topics in the research of visual recognition. Multiple components of recognition, as related to perception, memory and higher-level cognition, will be considered from an integrative psychological, neuroscientific and computational perspective. Specific topics include face recognition, visual word recognition and general object recognition.

PSYC03  – Computers in Psychological  Research: Advanced Topics

The course will provide advanced knowledge and hands-on training in computer-based implementations of experimental testing paradigms, computational explorations of empirical data structure and result visualization.

PSYB03  – Introduction to Computers in Psychological Research

The course will provide introductory knowledge and hands-on training in computer-based implementations of experimental design, data processing and result interpretation in psychology with the aid of specific programming tools (e.g., Matlab).

PSY5212 – Pattern Analysis in Neuroimaging

This graduate-level course will explore computational approaches to the analysis and interpretation of neuroimaging data. Particular emphasis will be placed on pattern analysis in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as applied to the study of visual recognition. This new course will be offered for the first time in the spring of 2017.
