Physics: Sensing stimuli are physical observables: photons, air pressure variations, forces,etc. The course will provide only the very basic concepts necessary for understanding sensingstimuli.
Psychophysics: The human sensory system transforms the physical sensing stimuli into neuralactivity. In order to represent sensing stimuli digitally, the student must understand which ofthe 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 auditorysystem, and an even briefer introduction to human skin senses, sense of balance and chemicalsenses (smell and taste).
Computer Science: The computer science part of the course, which is the bulk of the course,falls in 5 parts. <ol type=1>
Morning lectures and afternoon exercises with reports.
Weekly exercises must be approved.Oral examination, can be combined with examination of 4 week project if the subject of this falls within the area of multimedia systems.
