PSY 395-02 - Advanced Special Topic: Computational Neuroscience

4 credits (Spring)
Cross-listed as: NRS 250 . This course will discuss simplified mathematical models of single neurons and neural networks as tools for modeling perceptual and cognitive processes in the brain. We will cover synaptic plasticity and learning in neural networks, as well as models of sensory processing and motor control. Students will simulate and analyze simple neural models in computer labs, as well as learning experimental laboratory techniques.

Prerequisite: MAT 131 , MAT 133  andPSY 246 , PSY 260  or NRS 250 .
