NSCI 398 - Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience

FC NSMA QFR

4 credits
This course surveys mathematical and computational techniques used in theoretical neuroscience. In order to build intuition about the mathematics underlying these techniques, students code scientific computing models of neural function. Students need to be comfortable with mathematical notation and proofs, computer programming, and basic concepts in neuroscience. A companion laboratory, NSCI 399, supplements instruction and provides active learning opportunities for students with only the minimum required math and computing backgrounds. Email the instructor with questions about whether you are sufficiently prepared.

Prerequisites: NSCI 201 and CSCI 150 and (DATA 113 or MATH 231 or MATH 232 or MATH 234).
