This course is designed to explore the five major human sensory systems (vision, hearing, smell, touch, and taste) and perceptual experiences related to these senses as they occur in the human brain. The course examines the anatomical, physiological, and neural connections that influence sensation and perception. Emphasis will be placed on theories and concepts of sensation and perception as a means of understanding human behavior.
