Expression of interest- Experimental Neuroscience Bootcamp
This course provides a fundamental foundation in the modern techniques of experimental neuroscience. It introduces the essentials of sensors, motor control, microcontrollers, programming, data analysis, and machine learning by guiding students through the “hands on” construction of an increasingly capable robot.
In parallel, related concepts in neuroscience are introduced as nature’s solution to the challenges students encounter while designing and building their own intelligent system.
By building a robot, you will learn both how the individual technologies work and how to combine them together into a complete system. It is this broad-but-integrated understanding of modern technology that will help students of this course design novel state-of-the-art neuroscience experiments.
For the course, you will need access to a Windows computer (so that we know our software will work) with a webcam and a stable internet connection for the online tutorials. All other materials will be provided in the NeuroKit.
