1. Lo Studio dell'Intelligenza

Cos'è l'intelligenza? [Khalfa, 1994] è definibile?
L`intelligenza visiva [Gregory, 1994]
Evoluzione dell'intelligenza [Mackintosh, 1994] [Lewis, 1992]
Intelligenza nel neonato [Butterworth, 1994]
Intelligenza artificiale [Brooks, 1991b][Birnbaum, 1991][Kirsh, 1991][Brooks, 1991a][Schank and Birnbaum, 1994][Minsky and Papert, 1972]

2. Il Sistema Nervoso

1.      Metodologie per lo studio del sistema nervoso e del comportamento animale:anatomia, fisiologia, farmacologia, psicologia e psicofisica, modellistica e simulazione.
2.      Cervello e comportamento [Sacks, 1986] [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 1)
3.      Basi nervose del comportamento [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 2)
4.      Il sistema nervoso centrale dell'uomo [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 5) e i sistemi sensoriali [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 20) [Calvino, 1995]
5.      Basi neuronali dei processi cognitivi [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 18)
6.      Le emozioni (relazione fra stati cognitivi e fisiologici) [Kandel et al., 1995] (Capitolo 32)

3. Percezione Visiva e Interazione Sensori-Motoria

Sistema visivo [Schiffman, 1996] (Capitoli 3 e 4)
Elementi di base della percezione visiva [Schiffman, 1996] (Capitoli 6 e 7)
Percezione del moto e stereo visione [Schiffman, 1996] (Capitoli 8 e 9)
Le illusioni visive [Schiffman, 1996] (Capitolo 10)
Lo sviluppo del sistema nervoso ([Kandel et al., 1995] Capitolo 6) e della percezione visiva [Schiffman, 1996] (Capitolo 11).
Paradigma percezione/azione (Purposive Behaviors) [Aloimonos, 1993]
