Lecture

I will focus on the following topics

  1. General overview
    1. Central Nervous System
    2. Signal Processing in Nerve Cells
  2. Auditory system (Hearing)
  3. Visual system (Seeing)
  4. Vestibular system (Balance)

SensesWeb, which has been created by Tutis Vilis, contains fantastic animations - at a high level(!) - off all sensory systems, as well as the corresponding PDF-Files, and additional further links. You can either access SensesWeb on the WWW, or download the SensesWeb zip-file (21 MB)

Since these topics have also be treated in previous lectures, you can also have a look at the website of the lecture on Biophysics of the Sensory System (SS 2003)
