Topics in Computational Neuroscience

Overview

UPDATE: If you would like, please register for VS 298 Section 3, Course Control Number (CCN) 66487, for 1 unit, S/U. The class will later be cross listed under Neuroscience.

NOTE: This semester (Spring '06) we are having a trial run of the class, Topics in Computational Neuroscience. We hope that this will be an ongoing class that will cover new papers and topics each semester. This semester we are planning to cover a topic each week and choose about two papers for each topic. Topics and papers we skip this semester will be covered in future semesters.

This class is aimed at graduate students from the neuroscience program, neuroscience related life sciences, as well as students from engineering, physics, and math programs with an interest in a computational approach to studying the brain. The class will provide a broad survey of literature from theoretical and computational neuroscience. Readings for the class will be selected from the best papers in the field and will combine both seminal works and recent theories. The class is scheduled to meet for one session each week for 1.5 hours for each session.
