A study of basic principles and research methods in artificial intelligence. The course exposes students to selected topics in the field including pattern recognition, problem solving, theorem proving, knowledge representation, and natural language understanding by computers. The course will draw on recent advances made by cognitive scientists in each of these applications. Students are expected to study the theoretical background of an application. They will also complete several programming and simulation assignments during the semester. Prerequisite: Computer Science 215L with a grade of C- or better. 1.00 units, Lecture

Can you change your brain This course will review the more recent findings and debates in cortical plasticity. It will give an overview of the different mechanisms subsumed under the term plasticity, especially as it refers to brain changes in human adults. A brief introduction to adult neurogenesis, Hebbian learning, and cortical reorganization, will be provided. Specific topics considered will include the effects of enriched environments on behavior, the reorganization of sensory and motor systems in humans, the effects of different kinds of neurotoxins on the brain, practice related changes in the brain, the brain changes associated with expertise in the arts or athletics, and brain reorganization therapies for disorders such as dyslexia. Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 101 or 201. 1.00 units, Seminar

This course examines the way in which brain function influences mental processes and overt action. We will consider a range of cognitive functions primarily from the perspective of neuroscience and draw on such related disciplines as cognitive psychology and computational analysis as needed. The functions to be reviewed include perception, attention, memory, language, and thinking. This course includes a community learning component, and students should anticipate that special scheduling arrangements will be required for activities outside of regular class sessions. Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 255 or Psychology 256 or Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 201. 1.00 units, Lecture

The course will begin with a cursory review of basic neuroanatomy, brain organization and topography, and neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter conductive systems. Next, an in-depth examination of physiological and neurological manifestations of cognitive and psychopathological disorders as well as behavioral correlates of neuropathological and pathophysiological disturbances will follow. Finally, a survey of current diagnostic procedures and treatment approaches will be presented. All course material augmented with, and accentuated by, illustrative clinical case material. Students should anticipate that special scheduling arrangements will be required for activities outside of regular class sessions. Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 255 or Psychology 256 or Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 201. 1.00 units, Lecture
