Computational Neuroscience Course

Learn Computational Neuroscience in a Hands-On Way

Pre-Course Preparation

• Optional 12-video series covering essential neuroscience topics, Python, and mathematics

Code-First, Hands-On Learning

• Learn cutting-edge advances in machine learning and causality research with state-of-the-art modeling approaches in neuroscience.
• Focus on interpretability and the process of modeling.
• Group research projects with guided experience in modeling any observed phenomenon
• Professional networking opportunities with instructors and expert mentors

Course Curriculum

• Introduction to modeling, types of questions we can ask with given model types and creating your own models.
• Machine learning module: fitting models to data, using generalized linear models, uncovering underlying lower dimensional structures, and building complex models using deep learning
• Dynamical system module: building biologically plausible models based on bottom-up knowledge of the system being modeled, covering topics like linear systems and dynamic networks
• Stochastic processes module: methods for getting better insight through measurement tools, hidden dynamics, optimal control, and reinforcement learning
• Causality module: understanding when something is causally related vs. just correlated

Get Ready to Launch into Your Neuroscience Journey

• Full-time effort of 8 hours per day, 5 days per week

Dates

Our live course runs annually in July.

Information for Teaching Assistants

Teaching assistants lead each student classroom and group research project team. They have ensure students collaboratively learn while also being available as a more experienced expert to answer questions and provide guidance to the pod.

Teaching assistants are paid, full-time, temporary, contracted roles. TA compensation is provided by this calculator.

You can read more about the TA role on our Courses Page or in the Portal.

Apply

Applications generally open five to six months before the course date. To check registration status and submit an application, visit our Portal, make a profile, and then apply for our course if it is available.
