Neural Models and Machine Learning

Catalog description

(same as ECE 4540 , CMP_SC 4540 , BIOL_EN 4540 ; cross-leveled with ECE 7540 , BIOL_EN 7540 , CMP_SC 7540 ). The projects-based course has three inter-linked components: (I) math models of neurons and neural networks, (II) machine learning in neuroscience, after a brief introduction to python and (III) software automation and cyberinfrastructure to support neuroscience. Extensive projects focusing on software automation and machine learning components, with brief in-class presentations. Graded on A-F basis only.
