Course description and aims

In the field of human-centric information systems, the instructor gives lectures on selected topics from media information processing, intelligent information processing, sensory information processing and biological information processing. The background science and the technologies of both hardware and software are discussed.
This course is aiming at providing the basic knowledge to understand human-centric information systems.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to
(1) Have an understanding of fundamentals on psychophysics, statistics, measurement engineering, multivariate analysis, display engineering, and human interface.
(2) Then based on (1), find the relations of those methodologies to media information processing, intelligent information processing, sensory information processing and biological information processing,
(3) Apply those methodologies to their own researches.

Keywords

Media information processing, Intelligent information processing, Sensory information processing, Biological information processing

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course holds two classes in a row. Two classes are devoted to each item of the fundamentals of human-centric information systems. The theory and examples are introduced in the first class, and the exercises are assigned to students and the answers and related knowledges are explained in the second class.
