Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Vision; can you imagine your life without it? When asked to name the five sensations of perception, most people begin their list with \"sight\". This magnificent ability to observe our environment is often taken for granted or considered mysterious. The brain is the most complicated organ in the body controlling sensation, movement, emotion and memory. What types of cells are in the brain? How do they interact? How are photons (particles of light) captured by the eye? Why are images upside-down in the brain? The answers to these questions will be addressed in this course.
