Cognitive Science: "Perception" Module, WS 2026/27

The "Perception" module has been completely remodeled to offer more classes on a greater variety of topics. The module consists of the following classes: 

• “Visual Features & Objects”
• "Visual Attention & Awareness",
• “Visuomotor Control”
• “Auditory Perception”
• "Methods & Models in Perception" (old title: “Psychophysics & Signal Detection”). 

There will generally be two or three classes per semester on a rotating schedule. Except for “Methods & Models”, all classes can also be used for the “Cognitive Neuroscience” module.

Landau Cognitive Psychology students: The class “Visual Attention & Awareness” takes place every summer, the class “Methods & Models in Perception” (old title: “Psychophysics & Signal Detection”) takes place every winter. Because weekly communiting between our towns is not realistic, both these classes will take place as block seminars.

In addition, there is of course our Lab Rotation “Perception” (every winter term). The lab rotation comes with a little 1-CP class “Methods in Perception Research”, which mainly deals with data analysis in the context of the lab rotation. When you sign up for the lab rotation, please take care to sign up for that Methods class, too. You can also take that class separately. It takes place whenever the lab rotation reaches the point of data analysis, which is usually at the end of the winter term. The exact date will be announced. Literature can be found in the OLAT course accompanying the lab rotation.

P.S.: The class "Mental Chronometry" is part of the Lab Rotation "Cognition".
