This unique interdisciplinary course combines aspects of psychology, mathematics and computer science. It uses computational models and artificial intelligence to further the understanding of the brain.
You will learn how:
the brain is believed to work on the cellular, network and systems level
to develop mathematical models of brain function and use them in simulations
cognitive phenomena relate to brain activity
current AI algorithms are based on neuroscience findings
a range of experimental approaches are used to measure and analyse brain function.
There will be particular focus on how:
memories are stored and organised in the brain
networks of neurons perform computations
visual illusions find their origins in neural circuits.
Our research covers many aspects of computational study on the brain, from the changes at a single synapse through to the behaviour of large populations.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities (CWCU), Graduate School of Education (formerly the Institute of Higher Education) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and updated on an annual basis
The "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. CSIC is among the first basic research organizations in Europe. The CSIC consisted in 2006 of 126 centers and institutes distributed throughout Spain.
