I Like That!: How perception, emotion, and cognition shape our preferences
.png)
Students will conduct experiments and analyze real scientific data as they learn about themselves. They'll learn how our eyes and brains interact to determine what we like and dislike, and apply this knowledge to fish research and the art of character design.
Alignment summary( Connected)
In Parts 1 and 2, students will gain a deeper understanding of how visual sensing of color and patterns affect what we can actually perceive, and how perception is affected by our emotions and cognition (memory and higher order thinking) to drive our preferences. This will involve a good amount of background about how we perceive color (i.e. that color refers to different wavelengths of light that are detected by cones in the retina).
