Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
Beginner - Advanced Level
Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
In this course, students will learn about some of the neuroscience of the visual system and how humans process visual information. We will take a journey along the visual pathway from the object we are perceiving, through the neural pathways of the optical system, into the brain as it computes and processes the visual information and to the decision making process that evaluates the information. We will also discuss philosophical questions about vision such as "What makes us see the sky as...
Students will learn about how humans process visual information and other interesting topics within the field of vision science. They will also learn about different problems that can occur in the visual system and will learn about some different optical illusions and how they work.
I love researching and discussing the brain. I received my MA in psychological research and since have worked with I have used a variety of research methods to study different areas of neuroscience. I worked in a vision science research lab at University of California, San Diego where we studied the effects of attention on the processing of visual information in the human brain. I can help the students get excited about the brain and how it works and I always encourage the students to be as creative and expressive as they want!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
