neu250 - Computational Neuroscience - Statistical Learning

attendance in pre-meeting

Course in the first half of the semester Students without Matlab experience should take the optional Matlab course (1. week) of Computational Neuroscience - Introduction

Recommended in combination with neu240 Computational Neuroscience - Introduction
Shared course components with (cannot be credited twice): psy220 Human Computer Interaction

during the course

Portfolio, consisting of daily short tests, programming exercises and short reports

Upon successful completion of this course, students

• have refined their programming skills (in Matlab) in order to efficiently analyze large-scale experimental data
• are able to implement a processing chain of prefiltering, statistical analysis and results visualization
• have acquired an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the most common statistical analysis methods and basic machine learning principles
• have practised using existing toolbox functions for complex analysis tasks
• know how to implement new analysis algorithms in software from a given mathematical formulation
• can interpret analysis results in a neuroscientific context
• have applied these techniques to both single channel and multi-channel neurophysiological data
