students and postdoctoral fellows from Asia and around the world. We welcome
both applicants with quantitative backgrounds (including Physics, Mathematics,
Engineering and Computer Science) and those with experimental backgrounds. The
lectures will introduce the basic concepts and methods, as well as cutting-edge
research on higher brain functions such as decision-making, attention, learning
and memory. Modeling will be taught at multiple levels, ranging from single
neuron computation and microcircuits up to large-scale brain systems and
artificial intelligence and psychiatric disorders. Python-based programming
labs coordinated with the lectures will provide practical training in important
computational methods.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in"><br>
