Course Description

Daniel Kahneman won a Noble Prize in economics for his research on the parallel systems of thinking and the role emotion plays in decision making.  Vision represents the dominant afferent stimulus to the brain.  Vision influences and is influenced by the fast and slow thinking systems.  This course investigates these neurologic connections specifically through the lateral geniculate nucleus. The basic science is then applied to vision therapy where certain integrative techniques might be leveraged for enhanced outcomes.
