This course is open to all Informatics students including those on joint degrees. For external students where this course is not listed in your DPT, please seek special permission from the course organiser.
No prior biology / neuroscience knowledge is required. The course was developed assuming a background in computer science or related quantitative field. We use a small subset of not very advanced math and machine learning in the lectures.
Basics of Python or MATLAB is required. |
Information for Visiting Students
| Pre-requisites | As above. |
