ITAI 4374 - Neuroscience as a Model for A.I. Systems

Credits: 3

It is often said that the human brain is a good model for A.I.’s neural networks. By using advanced brain imaging and mouse models, human brain mapping is beginning to show a deeper understanding of brain anatomy, neural pathways and cognitive systems. The goal is to better comprehend human memory, learning and plasticity. Once we learn more about how the human brain works it may become easier to design effective A.I. learning systems. This course provides an in-depth overview to compare human brain models with artificial systems for learning.
