NAIL088: Informatics and Cognitive Science 2
Synopsis
This course gives an introduction into computational neuroscience and cognitive psychology. The second term will focus primarily on visual system, computational modelling, spatial cognition. This course runs in English.
Course work
Passing of the course requires three components:
- Active participation
- Computational neuroscience paper presentation: the list
- Term project (in the form of report): the assignment
The term project will be an assignment, which will involve delivering a report on analysis of a model of mouse primary visual cortex.
Lecture overview and slides
The course will take place every Monday at 14:00-17:10 in room 510.
The first 90 minutes will be a lecture followed by 90 minute exercise session. The following schedule is provisional, it can change depending on availability of visiting lecturers.
