The readings listed below provide the foundation for this course. The “Reading Assignments” will help the students understand the lecture topics and provide background information. Each of the "Reports" is a research paper that demonstrates a novel finding. The list of reports is updated each time the course is offered to provide our current understanding of vision and audition. Each report will be discussed in class with a student chosen to present the paper.
