The course deals with neural models for hearing, olfaction, vision, and
the relationship between brain and consciousness. The focus is on functional
relationships and on the impact of the physical environment on the
development and formation of the nervous system.
The effects of these processes on memory and learning will be emphasised.
The course, which includes a student project, gives 5 credits at the 300
level. It may serve as a graduate course in disciplines such as biology,
electronics, informatics, medicine, philosophy, physics, psychology,
technical cybernetics, or as support for dr. ing. studies.

The lecturers
come from several different faculties. They share a common interest
in studying the brain and neural systems in order to further our understanding
of the fundamental mechanisms for perception and learning.
