Description

We will discuss how humans perceive, and interact with, their environment by using their senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin) to convert external stimuli (electromagnetic radiation, air pressure vibrations, volatile and soluble chemicals, and mechanical forces) into neural signals and psychological experiences (sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures).

Prerequisites

PSYCH 100 or 101
