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