This course deals with computer simulations of the human auditory, visual, and balance system. The lecture will cover the physiological and mechanical mechanisms of these sensory systems. And in the exercises, the simulations will be implemented with Python. The simulations will be such that their output could be used as input for actual neuro-sensory prostheses.

This lecture will provide an introduction to the mechanisms of our eyes, ears, and balance system, and how these sensors convert incoming information into neural signals. It will also include an introduction into the signal processing in neurons. In the exercises we will use MATLAB toolboxes to convert images, sound, and movement information into the corresponding neural signals.
