Prerequisites
Basic anatomy of the brain
Learning outcomes
Know and understand the relation between brain features and neural network architecture, and understand the basis of computation modeling of large-scale neural networks.
Course contents
Neural networks and architectures to model the brain and its functional activity at multiple scales of complexity. Particular interest will be given to the large-scale characterization of the brain and to the relation with behavior and cognition.
• Machine and Deep learning techniques applied to Cognitive Neuroscience
• Neural architectures to create physiologically based mean field models
• Whole-brain network: Structure-function relation
• Functional Brain Networks dynamics and large-scale connectivity
• Brain modeling to predict brain activity and functional hierarchy
AI applied to brain imaging, behavior and cognition
