About

About the course

Course content

Neuroinformatics and network models of brain functions are major topics. The course has a strong focus on models of memory in realistic cortical networks, using both experimental and theoretical (computational) approaches. Attractor networks receive particular attention. The teaching consists of lectures and practical demonstrations.

The course includes a project equivalent to 2.5 credits. The project involves writing an essay, usually under supervision and based on a literature search of a topic. The project is evaluated as passed/failed. The student must pass the project assignment before (s)he can take the exam.
