- - I took it in Fall 2007. The class was very well structured and tackled the earlier visual stations in a very detailed manner. The courses starts at the visual transduction at the rod level in response to a single photon and builds up to cover the retina, LGN and some initial processing in the primary visual cortex. All in all, it is a beautiful way to see by example how truly interdisciplinary neuroscience is and how molecular, systems, computational and cognitive neuroscience come together to help us understand each system. I would recommend this class

- -This is the second in a two part course on visual processing. Norberto arranges for guest speakers from other schools and it is an excellent seminar style class that delves into higher vision. This part deals with vision from LGN to the visual cortices while BME670 dealt with vision from retina to LGN. Both these courses are a sine qua non for those interested in vision.
BME 575 Computation Neuroengineering

- This is a very hands on course with 2 programming assignments each week and 2 computer projects. Its not an easy class and requires some background in math but Norberto makes it pretty accessible to those with limited computational background. Its a fantastic course for learning how to model at various levels from single neurons to large neural networks. Highly recommended!

- - I took this class in Fall 2006. Fantastic. The first part of the class was a Matlab tutorial for those not familiar with it, but also had some good tips for people who already know Matlab. The second part of the course was great - we learned about different aspects of the motor system in each class and then actually modeled it with hands-on supervision. The class ended with a final project consisting of a novel computational model. I would recommend it.

- - I took the course last year (2007) and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in taking an integrative look at motor control, emotion, and language. Registration is limited to 15 students, so sign up early!
CSCI 567 Advanced topics in machine learning

Syllabus: currently unavailable
Survey results:
- - I took this class in Spring 2007. The class itself was good, but focused mostly on supervised machine learning techniques that aren't quite so applicable to neural modeling. It would be a good course if you were interested in using these techniques for data analysis though. Not recommended.
