♦ ⌈ 课程介绍  Introduction ⌉

1、 简短概述  Brief Overview

心理物理实验是研究物理刺激与其引发心理感受之间定量关系的交叉学科，是认知神经科学和实验心理学的基础方法。

Psychological Experiment is an interdisciplinary field that studies the quantitative relationship between physical stimuli and the psychological sensations they evoke. It serves as a foundational methodology for cognitive neuroscience and experimental psychology.

2、详细介绍  Detailed Introduction 

本课程自2015年起面向电子科技大学生物医学工程等专业的来华留学研究生开设，是一门强调理论结合实践的专业选修课。课程采用全英文、小班化教学（师生比约1:3），旨在为零心理学基础的工科背景留学生系统构建心理物理学的知识框架与实验技能。课程内容分为理论讲授与实验操作两大部分：理论部分涵盖心理物理学基本概念（阈限、反应时）、经典实验范式以及视知觉、注意、记忆、情绪等核心认知功能的神经机制；实验部分则依托专用教学实验室，指导学生使用E-prime等专业软件及行为实验设备，独立完成从实验设计、程序编写、数据采集到分析汇报的全流程。针对疫情期间的教学挑战，课程灵活整合在线实验平台与远程指导，确保实践环节质量。通过“理论-实验”即时循环、开放式项目设计与翻转课堂等多元化教学方法，课程着力培养学生的科学思维、严谨的实验设计能力及跨学科研究素养，为其在脑科学、神经工程及人机交互等领域的后续深入研究奠定坚实的方法学基础。

This course has been offered for international graduate students in majors such as Biomedical Engineering at UESTC since 2015. It is a specialized elective that emphasizes the integration of theory and practice. The course adopts a full-English, small-class teaching model (student-teacher ratio approximately 1:3), aiming to systematically build a knowledge framework and experimental skills in psychophysics for international students with engineering backgrounds and no prior psychology foundation. The course content is divided into two main parts: theoretical lectures and experimental operations. The theoretical part covers basic concepts of psychophysics (thresholds, reaction times), classical experimental paradigms, and the neural mechanisms of core cognitive functions such as visual perception, attention, memory, and emotion. The experimental part relies on dedicated teaching laboratories, guiding students to use professional software like E-prime and behavioral experimental equipment to independently complete the entire process from experimental design, programming, and data collection to analysis and presentation. In response to teaching challenges during the pandemic, the course flexibly integrated online experiment platforms and remote guidance to ensure the quality of practical sessions. Through diverse teaching methods such as immediate "theory-experiment" cycles, open-ended project design, and flipped classrooms, the course focuses on cultivating students' scientific thinking, rigorous experimental design capabilities, and interdisciplinary research literacy, laying a solid methodological foundation for their subsequent in-depth research in fields such as brain science, neural engineering, and human-computer interaction.
