MCB 417: Modeling Neural Systems

  • SP08
Section Type Times Days Location Instructor
Description This combined lecture/lab course will introduce students to the major paradigms in neural network modeling, and explore their relevance for understanding real neural systems. In the computer lab, students will learn how to program and use neural networks. In lecture, students will be given the technical knowledge needed to accomplish the lab, and the neurophysiological knowledge needed to evaluate neural networks as models of real neural systems. This highly interactive course is open to students from various backgrounds. Same as BIOP 417 and NEUR 427. Prerequisite: MCB 414; and MATH 124; and CS 110; or equivalent or consent of instructor.
Equivalent To BIOP 417, NEUR 427
