Summary
This unique interdisciplinary course combines aspects of psychology, mathematics and computer science. It uses computational models and artificial intelligence to further the understanding of the brain.
You will learn how: - the brain is believed to work on the cellular, network and systems level
-
to develop mathematical models of brain function and use them in simulations
-
cognitive phenomena relate to brain activity
-
current AI algorithms are based on neuroscience findings
-
a range of experimental approaches are used to measure and analyse brain function.
There will be particular focus on how:
-
memories are stored and organised in the brain
-
networks of neurons perform computations
-
visual illusions find their origins in neural circuits.
Our research covers many aspects of computational study on the brain, from the changes at a single synapse through to the behaviour of large populations.
