About Student Projects

As part of the course, students will conduct a self-directed empirically based independent project, to investigate an aspect of vision and art that they find appealing. These projects will be designed in consultation with the instructor and will undergo regular progress review. Projects must be empirical: they must involve designing and executing an experiment and/or creating and interpreting a work of art. Projects cannot only involve a literature review or term paper.
