Methods of Psychophysics

In dieser 5-tägigen Veranstaltung werden Grundlagen psychophysischer Methoden vorgestellt. Dazu werden unterschiedliche Typen von experimentellen Herangehensweisen vorgestellt sowie die wichtigsten statistischen Verfahren besprochen, um die damit gewonnen Daten zu analysieren. In praktischen Übungen besteht die Möglichkeit, ausgewählte psychophysische Experimente aus dem Bereich taktiler Wahrnehmung durchzuführen. Der Kurs wird mit einem Referat abgeschlossen.

The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a central research unit of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We aim to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory systems and while acting in those environments through effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental approaches from psychology and neurophysiology as well as theoretical approaches from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering and applied computer science, in particular machine learning, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.
