== Course description ==
This course provides an introduction to the theory of neural computation. The goal is to familiarize students with the major theoretical frameworks and models used in neuroscience and psychology, and to provide hands-on experience in using these models. Topics include neural network models, supervised and unsupervised learning rules, associative memory models, probabilistic/graphical models, sensorimotor loops, and models of neural coding in the brain.

This course differs from MCB 262, ''Advanced Topics in Systems Neuroscience,'' in that it emphasizes the theoretical underpinnings of models - i.e., their mathematical and computational properties - rather than their application to the analysis of neuroscientific data. It is offered in alternate years, interleaving with MCB 262. Students interested in computational neuroscience are encouraged to take both of these courses as they complement each other. This course was previously taught as [[VS298: Neural Computation|VS298]] ([[VS298 (Fall 06): Neural Computation|Fall 2006]] and [[VS298: Neural Computation|Fall 2008]]).
