Readings for next week: The Emotional Self, Deborah Lupton: Introduction, Chapter 1 & Chapter 3 Affective Computing, Rosalind Picard, Introduction & Chapter 1
Assignments: Add information about yourself and your interests + ideas you’d like to explore on class wiki. Reports regarding “the senses” assigned. Refer to wiki for reporting requirements.
Week Two January 19: The Substrate of Sensory Experience: Intero- and Exteroception
Topics for discussion:
Exteroception (Seeing, Tasting, Touching, Hearing, Smelling) and
Interoception (Proprioception, Temperature, Pain, Orientation, Kinesthetic Sense, Visceral Sense)
Technologies related to affective computing: biofeedback, GPS, accelerometers
Readings for next week:
Barnes’ reading Art or Humanities paper: Scientific paper:
Assignment:
Conduct an “autopsy” of one Art or Humanities paper and one scientific paper (see readings above).

Assignment: locate an example of a perceptual illusion: a work of art, design or media (or cultural phenomenon). Create a 3 page slideshow: page 1, cite the work & include an image or sound from it; page 2, your analysis; page 3, articulate an idea for a work you would want to create, relating to perceptual illusions or neuroplasticity.
