NGS Modules - GSN6506

GSN6506 Computational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering (4 MC)

This series of 4 capsule modules will cover;

  • quantitative methods to study information encoding and decoding in the responses of single neurons and of populations of neurons in the visual system, and network models of the visual system;
  • learning in hippocampal systems, and neural network models of learning, spike-time-dependent plasticity, and liquid state machines;
  • neural network models of learning, including back-propagation, radial basis functions, and Hebbian plasticity;
  • non-invasive recording methods in humans for brain-computer interfaces, including EEG and fMRI;
