Connectionists: New MSc Course

[Kevin Gurney]

The University of Sheffield, UK, has launched a new MSc in 
Computational Intelligence to start in September 2011.

Computational intelligence is an exciting area that brings together 
research in engineering, computing and neuroscience. Recent advances 
in how the brain works, and applications such as biologically inspired 
robotics, have occurred, in large part, due to a greater understanding 
of computational intelligence as a unified discipline.  This new MSc 
provides the multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills to meet the 
demand for experts in computational intelligence. The MSc will cover a 
mixture of modules in computational neuroscience, machine learning, 
neural networks, modelling and simulation of natural systems, 
multi-sensor data fusion, adaptive intelligence and robotics. Training 
in research skills will also be provided and students will undertake a 
substantial individual project which will allow them to specialise 
even further.
