COGS 211 - Perception and Action

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as PSYC 211 ) This course is about the ongoing, dynamic, causal loops of action and perception that situate agents in the world and form the foundation for their intelligence. Topics include how physical energies become perceptual experiences, how systems evolve, develop, and learn the ability to perform complex actions, and how it is that actions are brought under the control of perceptions. Material is drawn from the neurosciences, robotics, human and non-human animal behavior research, and philosophy. Classes include regular laboratory work including human experimental work and robotics. Mr. Livingston.

Prerequisite: COGS 100 .

Two 75-minute periods, plus one 4-hour laboratory.
