Content

Humans as well as complex technical systems process sensory information to
interact with the environment. These actions have consequences which (again)
create sensory events that can be processed and used to improve the interaction
with the environment. We will discuss advanced topics of this full ’perception–
action’ loop; in humans as well as in technical systems. A special focus will be
on the experimental literature from the Cognitive– and Neurosciences and on
advanced statistical methods.
Objectives

Students will know current views on biological information processing and on
the interaction of humans with technical systems. They will also learn and understand
advanced statistical and empirical methods that were used to generate
this knowledge. This expertise will help them to apply their knowledge in interdisciplinary
working environements, whenever empirical studies on human
performance and actions are required.
