CMPUT 510 - Computational Neuroscience
Overview
This is an interdisciplinary course covering areas in Computing Science, Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering. It covers three main areas.
- How do biological systems represent and process information at the level of single neurons.
- How is this information processed at the level of small neural networks.
- How this information is used to control body movements.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of this course, we will ensure that students first learn the fundamental concepts of other disciplines before they are applied.
Objectives
- Learn how to model single neurons and small neural networks
- Learn how to generate simple body movements
- Become familiar with relevant tools, including Neuron, Matlab and Simulink
Course Work
