About this film

Instructor: Josh McDermott View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/9-35-perception-spring-2024 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP62-9RweyYBIpkqfo5dfcuS8 This course studies how the senses work and how physical stimuli are transformed into signals in the nervous system. It examines how the brain uses those signals to make inferences about the world and uses illusions and demonstrations to gain insight into those inferences, emphasizing audition and vision, with some discussion of touch, taste, and smell. Experience with psychophysical methods is provided.
