Introduction to Computational Neuroscience

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to the theories and application of computational methods to neuroscience. Students will learn how computational methods are applied to cellular processes, sensory coding, learning and memory, and cognitive processes. The major focus is on the mammalian brain, but we will also discuss principles from other organisms. By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of the computational principles for neural circuit function, and the neurobiological basis of behavior.
