NeuroAI - A Principled Understanding of the Human Brain

Catalog description

Traditional neuroscience courses present a fragmented view of the field, cataloging empirical observations and theoretical constructs without providing strong conceptual links between them. The discipline has yet to establish core principles that promise an overarching understanding. This course, heavily leaning on deep learning, will provide such an overarching way of thinking about brains. The classes will mostly be lecture based, building on an upcoming textbook. Homework will primarily be the coding up and analyzing of models.
