Welcome to CSE/NEUBEH 528Computational Neuroscience Winter 2017 Rajesh Rao and Adrienne Fairhall (Instructors) with Rich Pang (TA) WF 11:00-12:20pm, Russell Hall 204 (1414 NE 42nd St.)
This course provides an introduction to basic computational methods for understanding what nervous systems do and for determining how they function. We will explore the computational principles governing various aspects of vision, sensory-motor control, learning, and memory. Specific topics that will be covered include representation of information by spiking neurons, processing of information in neural circuits, and algorithms for adaptation and learning. We will make use of Matlab demonstrations and exercises to gain a deeper understanding of concepts and methods introduced in the course. (Prerequisites: Familiarity with basic concepts in calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and probability theory).
