Official Course Description
In the last advanced module students encounter real-world applications of cognitive science. Using several examples, the courses demonstrate how established principles of cognitive science can be used to address social and technical problems. Potential examples range from perception (e.g., typography and spatial vision, color reproduction and color vision, motion sickness and sensory integration, head-mounted displays and stereo vision, robotics and haptics, virtual reality, etc.) and classic human computer interaction (attention, learning, cognitive modeling, usability, decision support systems, etc.) to education (class-room management, rote-learning, memory, concept formation, motivation and cognition, etc.) or social cognition (human robot interaction, virtual avatars, social media, etc.).
