The purpose of this course is twofold: (1) to introduce the range of widely used computational models across neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence, and (2) to introduce key concepts in these fields. Regarding the first aim, students will learn about different types of models and their implicit assumptions. For the second aim, students will learn different computational frameworks, ranging from single neurons to social interaction. Key equations will be explained to illustrate these concepts, but students will not be required to solve or manipulate equations. As such, a quantitative background is not a prerequisite.
