Neurophysiology and Information

강좌 소개

This course will focus on the organization and flow of information within the nervous system at the levels of molecules single neurons and systems of neurons The basic biophysical structure and function of the nervous system is now moderately well understood However the textbooks that describe the biology of the nervous system generally donot discuss information even though it is universally agreed that the nervous system is an information processing system The course will relate the biophysical structure and function of the nervous system to the processing of information In doing so the course will discuss the fundamental principles of the nervous system that should be helpful in designing intelligent machines that are capable of unsupervised learning The course will include a review of cellular and systems neurophysiology However students are expected to have already taken a course that covers basic neurobiology Only a minimal knowledge of mathematics is needed
