Achievement

The goal of this course is to introduce and survey theories of neural computation (many of which are inspired from physics) that provide deep conceptual insights into how we might connect biophysics to cognition. Along the way we will emphasize the development of mathematical skills necessary to analyze complex neural systems. We will attempt to make this course self-contained so that it is of interest both to biologists who wish to learn theory as well as theoretically minded students (i.e. physicists, mathematicians, engineers, etc.. ) who wish to learn the applications of theory to neurobiology.
