Saccades Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Perception, sensation, different visual stimuli, iconic memory, saccades, and depth perception are covered in these notes.

This lecture focusses on explaining how we work out what is moving in our field of vision, e.g. how do we know it is a person moving in front of us as opposed to the tv behind them? It compares two theories: extra retina signals and visual masking. These can be complex theories to wrap your head around, and these notes summarise it in an easy way. I have included here the additional reading set by the lecturer, along side some of my own additional reading (identified by a *** in front of it)....

This module examines the differences between the 'classic' passive view of vision and a newer approach - Active Vision. It looks at the differences between the two, as well as examining cortical and subcortical structures involved and streams of processing. The notes are very detailed, consisting of information from the seminars and elsewhere. This lecture contains information on: - Passive vision - Methods of studying vision - Psychophysics - Physiology - Computer science - Reasons for dominanc...
