This team-taught course will provide an interdisciplinary introduction to sensory perception, interplay between action and perception, as well as their basic neural foundations. Topics to be covered include: fundamentals of perceptual detection and discrimination, eye movements, visual perception of form, motion, and depth, haptic perception, basics of neural coding, multisensory processing, and attention.

This course discusses statistical concepts and procedures commonly used in brain and cognitive sciences research. It is a peer-led class, meaning that each student will take part in actively teaching some of the concepts. You will be evaluated on your participation in class and the effort in organizing your lessons.

Provides an interdisciplinary view of modern research into how the human brain solves the problems involved in perception, including how we perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world, how we recognize objects and how visual information is used to control action in the world. Students read contemporary research and, through classroom discussion and critical essays, explore and analyze the questions and debates that define contemporary perceptual science.

The goal of this course is to continue learning about statistical concepts and methods relevant to research in BCS, building off of BCSC 519 (Statistics for Brain & Cognitive Sciences). The course will be primarily be based on article discussion, with the opportunity for students to discuss and/or work through practical applications for their own projects. BCSC 519 is not a prerequisite.

Advanced graduate seminar on a chose problem in vision sciences. In previous years, topics have included motion perception, stereopsis, color vision and visuo-motor control. Readings for the course are drawn from the scientific literature in the topic being covered. Students are typically required to lead discussions on papers.

Examines clinical neuropsychology, which bridges neurology, neuroscience, and clinical psychology. Covers history of clinical neuropsychology, principles of neuropsychological assessment, and the interpretation of cognition and behavior as they relate to brain dysfunction. Considers specific neurological syndromes including neurodegenerative, cerebrovascular, toxic, and memory disorders; epilepsy; head trauma; infectious processes; pediatric neuropsychology; psychiatric syndromes; and forensic neuropsychology. Patient presentations (videotape and in-person interviews) supplement lectures.

This class covers how the brain controls behavior, and what goes wrong in various diseases, from a neurochemistry perspective. We start by learning about the neurochemicals –neurotransmitters, peptides, growth factors, etc. and move on to their receptors and associated signaling pathways, including gene transcription and epigenetics. An emphasis is placed on primary research literature, experimentation/data analysis and application of knowledge to the interpretation of scientific data. Students will attend research seminars on campus or online and write brief summaries of their understanding. The course culminates in small group presentations about the neurochemistry of diseases of interest, and an individual research review paper on the same topic.

Computational neuroscience studies how the brain can be understood in terms of computations implemented by neural circuits, and in terms of using computational methods to analyze neural and behavioral data. This course for advanced undergraduates and graduate students starts with models of individuals neurons before moving on to networks of neurons and behavior. It provides both a classic signal processing, and a probabilistic perspective on how neurons support the brain’s computations. While primarily lecture-based, an important part of the course are exercises that typically consist on implementing (programming) a model discussed in the class and analyze its behavior. The course also provides the opportunity for a final project but this is not required. The material mostly considers the sensory system and perceptual decision-making. There are no formal prerequisites. However, programming experience and a minimal background in linear algebra (vectors and matrices) and analysis (basic ordinary differential equations) are essential. At the beginning, there will be a very brief introduction to the key biological concepts necessary for the course. In doubt, please email the instructor.

This course provides a broad introduction to augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) systems. The course involves lectures and workshops covering an overview of all aspects of the AR/VR domain, as well as an individual class project developing an AR/VR demonstration of an application chosen by each student. Topics covered in the lectures and class workshops include history, conceptual origins, and design/evaluation principles of AR/VR technologies; optical architectures; audio and visual perception; graphics and computation; data processing and machine intelligence; introduction to AR/VR developer tools; societal implications and ethical aspects. At the end of the course, students will have gained familiarity with the techniques, languages, and cultures of fields integral to the convergent research theme of AR/VR. This course includes workshops and project demonstrations in Studio X, as well as several guest lectures.

An interdisciplinary tour of human cognition with a special focus on large-scale neural representations in the human brain. Topics will include categorization, semantics, attention, memory, language, and cognitive control, with an emphasis on cutting-edge research that lies at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and computer science. The course will provide introductions to several neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, MEG, EEG) and neural manipulation methodologies (e.g., TMS, tDCS, neurofeedback) and will involve discussions of advanced machine learning analysis techniques (multivariate pattern recognition algorithms, deep neural networks, Hidden Markov Models). Format: lectures and student-led seminar discussions.
