NEUR 410 - Neural Computation


Prerequisites, MATH 115 MATH 116 MATH 203 MATH 211 . This course is a survey of the different ways that neurons and networks of neurons compute. Includes an introduction to the biophysics of neurons and synapses, and the mathematical descriptions of neurons, neural networks, and neuro-inspired artificial intelligence. How do neurons and networks of neurons represent information, and how do they compute with it? The course will also survey computational modeling methods for neuroscience. Letter grade. (Offered fall semester, alternate years.) 3 credits
