Course overviewThis unique interdisciplinary course combines aspects of psychology, mathematics and computer science. It uses computational models and artificial intelligence to further the understanding of the brain.You will learn how:the brain is believed to work on the cellular, network and systems levelto develop mathematical models of brain function and use them in simulationscognitive phenomena relate to brain activitycurrent AI algorithms are based on neuroscience findingsa range of experimental approaches are used to measure and analyse brain function.There will be particular focus on how:memories are stored and organised in the brainnetworks of neurons perform computationsvisual illusions find their origins in neural circuits.Our research covers many aspects of computational study on the brain, from the changes at a single synapse through to the behaviour of large populations.
2:1 (or international equivalent). For quantitatively minded students with a background in psychology, neuroscience, or biosciences as well as those with training in physics, engineering, mathematics, or computer science; no specific biology or psychology knowledge required.
