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, recurrent networks, probabilistic/graphical models, and models of neural coding in the brain.
This course is on subjectivity....blah blah blah


This course was previously taught as [[VS298: Neural Computation|VS298]] ([[VS298 (Fall 06): Neural Computation|Fall 2006]], [[VS298: Neural Computation|Fall 2008]]), [[VS265: Neural Computation Fall2010]], and [[VS265: Neural Computation Fall2012]].
This is a new course...
