Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Human Vision

Psy 8993*, Psy 8036**, Psy 8031***
University of Minnesota, Spring Semester, 2003
http://courses.kersten.org

Instructors: Daniel Kersten, Sheng He, and Cheryl Olman
Contact: kersten@umn.edu, 612-625-2589 or sheng@tc.umn.edu or cheryl@cmrr.umn.edu

Meeting time: Mondays 9-11 am†, beginning January 27f
Meeting Place: Elliott Hall 204

Visual perception is a complex neural process involving a network of multiple cortical visual areas. What computations are being performed by this network that enable us to see? Developments in neuroimaging, and in particular fMRI, have led to rapid advances in our knowledge of the anatomy and functional architecture of human visual cortex. The first part of the course will examine the theory and techniques of fMRI, and the relationship between the fMRI signal, hemodynamics and neural activity. The second part of the course will focus on fMRI studies of human visual processing. The course will be a combination of lectures and discussions.

Course requirements include participation in class discussions, presentation of articles, and a final written project.

*If you plan do to a final written project on human vision, register for: Sheng He's Psy 8993 Section 024 Directed Studies: Special Areas of Psychology and Related Sciences : 57889

**If you plan to do a final written project on magnetic resonance methods or computational neuroimaging, register for: Dan Kersten's Psy 8036 Special Topics in Computational Vision: 60109.

***If you only have time to attend a portion of the full 3-credit seminar (e.g., either the MRI lectures, or the sessions on vision applications), or if you wish to attend without doing a term project, you may sign up for 1 or 2 credits under Psy. 8-031. 8031 is a continuation of the Legge-Kersten seminar.
