CLPS 1492 - Laboratory in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (formerly COGS 1460)

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

We explore neural network models that bridge the gap between biology and cognition. Begins with basic biological and computational properties of individual neurons and networks of neurons. Examines specialized functions of various brain systems (e.g., parietal cortex, frontal cortex, hippocampus, ganglia) and their involvement in various phenomena, including perception, attention, memory, language and higher-level cognition. Includes a lab component in which students get hands on experience with graphical neural network software, allowing deeper appreciation for how these systems work. Prerequisites: CLPS 0020 (COGS 0010) or CLPS 0200 (COGS 0420); and CLPS 0410 (PSYC 0750) or NEUR 0010.
