Brain Inspired Computing

Catalog description

This course is primarily designed for graduate students and will expose them to theoretical and practical aspects of brain-inspired computing. It will offer students the opportunity to understand how the human brain computes to achieve intelligent behavior and how this understanding guides the development of new neural algorithms. We will identify the key developments and large issues at stake, and study brain inspired systems in the context of pragmatic applications. At the end of the course the students are expected to have expanded their knowledge of how the brain processes information, and how one can develop neuromorphic algorithms to tackle emergent spatio-temporal problems.
