Teaching Sensation and Perception Fall 2012

I am honored to be invited by the Department of Psychology at The Catholic University of America to teach Sensation and Perception for the Fall of 2012.

Sensation and perception is one of my favorite topics, sitting at the intercetion of cognitive psychology, neurosicence, cluture, and personal experience.

One of my goals for the class is reimagining the instruction of sensation and perception. Sensation and perception is a complex, inherently dynamic topic, and its instruction should reflect those properties. I am updating the curriculum and bridging the gap between the tradiational classroom and Khan Academy-style learning to best serve my students. Those aims are reflected in my syllabus. I am excited to leverage cutting-edge online resourses, such as the video below.
