Program
College
Chicago College of Optometry
Credits 2.0
This course presents the basis of monocular vision and includes light and dark adaptation, spatial and temporal resolution, and color vision. Students will learn about striate and extra-striate cortex, and also gross electrical potentials and photometry. This will help students to understand different electrodiagnostic and imaging techniques such as visual evoked potentials (VEP) and MRI. Furthermore, they will learn about different psychophysical methods (e.g., signal detection theory). In addition, an overview of human visual development will also be discussed.
