Sensory Neuroscience

What it is about

In this module you will learn the structure and function of the main sensory systems of vertebrates, with a focus on visual and auditory processing as well as multimodal integration and motor response. You will be able to derive physical and chemical boundary conditions at the end, determine sensory physiology, and place results within an overarching framework.

What you will be able to do

• Derive sensor physiological processes from physical/chemical boundary conditions
• Overview of different sensory systems and their principles
• Classify research results within a fundamental framework
• Critical evaluation of methodological aspects of scientific work
