Physics: Sensing stimuli are physical observables: photons, air pressure variations, forces,etc. The course will provide only the very basic concepts necessary for understanding sensing stimuli.
Psychophysics: The human sensory system transforms the physical sensing stimuli into neural activity. In order to represent sensing stimuli digitally, the student must understand which of the physical properties are captured and transmitted to the brain by the human sensory system.The course will provide superficial knowledge of the human visual system and human auditory system.
Computer Science: The computer science part of the course falls in 5 parts. <ol type=1>
