Traditional lectures (48 hours) with integrative course contribution on projective geometry and 3D transformations in real and virtual environments.
Part I – Neurophysiological basis of perception: Transduction principles, perception-action cycles. Functional characterization of the main perceptual systems (visual system, auditory system, somesthetic system). Part II – Techniques for the analysis and interpretation of data: Foundations of psychophysical techniques. Qualification of perceptual features. Representation and analysis of multidimensional signals. Part III – Interactive and enactive paradigms: Introduction to ecological perception (Gibson’s direct perception & sensorimotor theory). Active vision and eye movements. Visuospatial cognition (phenomenology in healthy and pathological conditions). Plasticity in the neurosensory systems (developing, adaptation, degeneration and aging).
