Course Details

Introduces computational methods to understand neural processing in the brain. Levels of representation from low-level, temporally precise neural circuits to systems-level rate-encoded models, to information-theoretic approaches. Emphasis on sensory systems, primarily vision and audition, most readily demonstrating the need for such computational techniques.

Prerequisite: COMP 150 or COMP 170 or COMP 180 or Permission of Instructor.

Outcomes: Students will be able to adeptly apply mathematical and computational frameworks in the various domains of neuroscience.
