Additional Information

The neocortex lies at the surface of mammalian brains and is critical for sensation, motor planning, cognition and consciousness. It has an insanely complex internal structure, with at least six distinct layers and dozens of unique cell types. Recent optical and genetic tools in neuroscience have made long elusive aspects of cortical function increasingly tractable. In this course, students will read and present recent contributions from the primary literature. This class is a student led workshop. Each week, two students will collaboratively present a topic. The first student will present an overview of the research topic. The second student will present the research article for the week. Each student will present twice (once in each slot). Everyone must do the readings each week and come prepared to discuss the science. There will be ample time for discussion and questions which are strongly encouraged. The main goals for the course are: (1) Learn how to critically read the primary scientific literature. (2) Learn how to give concise, organized oral presentations to peers (3) Conquer fear

Basic calculus is recommended. This course is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in computational methods for analyzing neural and behavioral data. Potential topics include signal processing, spectral analysis, information theory, cluster analysis, fitting parametrized models and maximum entropy models. We will also look at applications of modern machine learning techniques to scoring, analyzing and interpreting data. Although the course will be geared towards students who are new to computational methods, familiarity with calculus is recommended. Students will be asked to give a short oral presentation at the end of the semester on the use of methods from the class to analyze a real dataset.
