  • 85 505: Readings In Psychology

    3.00 - 12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    As the name implies, the emphasis in the Reading course is on reading articles and books in some specified area. The students work in the course must lead to the production of a written paper which will be read by the instructor directing the readings. Often the reading is related to a research project which the student may wish to conduct. Readings courses have also been used to give students an opportunity to receive instruction in areas which are not included elsewhere in our course listing. The course may be taken for any number of units up to 9, depending upon the amount of work to be done.

  • 85 507: Research in Psychology

    3.00 - 12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course may include field study, applied work, or laboratory research. The student should have previous training in the basic research skills that will be used in his/her project, especially statistical methods and experimental design. Independent Research Projects will be supervised by a faculty member and must result in a written paper. It is the students responsibility to make arrangements for independent study courses with individual faculty members. This should be done the semester before a student wishes to register for one of these courses. The course may be taken for any number of units up to 12, depending upon the amount of work to be done.

  • 85 510: Professional Development in Clinical Psychology and Related Fields

    3.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This 3-unit course is designed for the Junior or Senior psychology student who plans to pursue graduate-level training in the field of Clinical Psychology or a related mental health field. Each student will explore and define a clinical or clinical research specialization and will identify graduate training programs that will best match his/her interests and career goals. Each student will draft and finalize the written components of the graduate school application?i.e., CV and Statement of Purpose. Each student will prepare for the interview process by engaging in guided role-playing and by completing an oral presentation reviewing the literature relevant to his/her professional interests.

  • 85 601: Senior Thesis

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course is intended for senior Psychology or Cognitive Science majors who wish to conduct a research project under the direction of a faculty advisor. The project topic is to be selected jointly by the student and the advisor. The project will culminate in a senior paper which will be presented to the Department Head at the end of Fall Semester. Prerequisite: Grade of B or better in a previous research course required to enter, grade of B or better in first semester of senior thesis course required to complete, and permission of instructor. A formal proposal is required in the first semester. This course differs from the Honors Thesis sequence (66-501,502) in that it does not require Honors standing in HSS (i.e., there are no QPA requirements). This course differs from Research in Psychology (85-507,508) in that the student's original contribution to the research is expected to be more substantial, and in that a final written report of the project is to be presented to the Department.

  • 86 371: Philosophy of Perception

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course addresses questions concerning the nature of perception. We?ll attempt to answer a variety of questions including (but not limited to): What is perception? How is it different from thought? Must perception be conscious? Can there by unconscious perception? Do we perceive the world directly? Do we see only images? Does perception represent the world? How many senses are there and how do we divide them? How is vision different from touch or audition? Is taste a sense? Is smell? Is proprioception or the sense of pain? What are hallucinations? Is imagination a form of perception? What are colors, sounds as objects of perception? Is there a difference between silence and deafness? Do we perceive only what we attend? How can understanding the brain help us understand perception? At every point, we will keep touch with the empirical literature.

  • 86 375: Computational Perception

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    In this course, we will first cover the biological and psychological foundational knowledge of biological perceptual systems, and then apply computational thinking to investigate the principles and mechanisms underlying natural perception. The course will focus on vision this year, but will also touch upon other sensory modalities. You will learn how to reason scientifically and computationally about problems and issues in perception, how to extract the essential computational properties of those abstract ideas, and finally how to convert these into explicit mathematical models and computational algorithms. Topics include perceptual representation and inference, perceptual organization, perceptual constancy, object recognition, learning and scene analysis. Prerequisites: First year college calculus, some basic knowledge of linear algebra and probability and some programming experience are desirable.

  • 86 686: Neural Computation

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    Computational neuroscience is an interdisciplinary science that seeks to understand how the brain computes to achieve natural intelligence. It seeks to understand the computational principles and mechanisms of intelligent behaviors and mental abilities -- such as perception, language, motor control, and learning -- by building artificial systems and computational models with the same capabilities. This course explores how neurons encode and process information, adapt and learn, communicate, cooperate, compete and compute at the individual level as well as at the levels of networks and systems. It will introduce basic concepts in computational modeling, information theory, signal processing, system analysis, statistical and probabilistic inference. Concrete examples will be drawn from the visual system and the motor systems, and studied from computational, psychological and biological perspectives. Students will learn to perform computational experiments using Matlab and quantitative studies of neurons and neuronal networks. Prerequisites: 15110 and 21122
