Catalog description

A lecture and computing lab course focused on computational models of neurons and neural systems, and emphasizing Matlab-based computer simulation. The course is open to all undergraduate and graduate students in any of the Brain-Sciences-related departments. It includes two parallel tracks: an intro track for students with little background in math and computation, and an advanced track for students with substantial background in probability, differential equations, and computing. The intro track is the equivalent of NEUR 0680 , last taught in 2018. Prerequisites: NEUR 0010 , or NEUR 1020 , or NEUR 1030 . MA 0100 or equivalent. Maximum enrollment: 16.
