Blockpraktikum
Cognitive and Computational Psychophysics
Die jährlich am Max-Planck-Institut für biologische Kybernetik als Blockpraktikum stattfindende Veranstaltung gibt eine Einführung in die Forschungsbereiche, -methoden, und -techniken des Studiums der menschlichen Wahrnehmung. Die Veranstaltung wird auf Englisch gehalten. Das nächste Blockpraktikum findet 2013 statt.
| General Course Information | This course is organized annually and has two main goals: 1) To introduce you to the various research areas, methods and techniques for studying human perception at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. The institute is a leading international research facility, which uses a combination of psychophysics, computational modeling and cutting-edge technology to study the human brain. 2) To give you „hands on" experience by conducting five mini-research projects related to on-going research projects. |
| Program for 2013 | Four to seven experiments from different research fields e.g.: "Face recognition". Participants will also get tutorials and various lab tours. More details to be announced later. |
| Course Requirement | The course is in English. Students should be at least in their fifth semester. Students who want to get a "Schein" or credits for this practical course are required to write a report in English. (Psychologie Studenten: Diplom-Studenten der Psychologie können sich für ihre Teilnahme am Blockpraktikum einen benoteten Schein für ein Praktikum in „Evaluation und Forschungsmethoden“ anrechnen lassen.) |
| Type of Course | Practical Course / Blockpraktikum (4 SWS) |
| Registration | Registrations (first come first served basis) must be done by phone at the secretary's office: Dagmar Maier, 07071/ 601-601 or by email:  dagmar.maier[at]tuebingen.mpg.de. Participants' number is limited. |
| Time and Location | Time: March 14-26, 2013; Location: Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Spemannstr. 38 |
