This course on introduces the dynamic features of the brain and their allied dynamical systems description including the twin perspectives from dynamical systems: geometric and algorithmic/computational. The course also covers linear dynamical systems in terms of approximations near equilibria and the usefulness of this approximation is in terms of geometrical approaches (eigenvector decompositions), including how this leads to line attractors and models of optimal decisions as well as “non-normal” surprises when eigenvectors are not orthogonal, as well as the treatment of time-dependent systems, including those driven by stochastic signals or noise, and close with examples on how networks and the activity that they produce co-evolve over time.

This course introduces the "hidden states" that neurons and networks have that affect their function and how to use graphical models with hidden states to learn about the dynamics in the world that we only have access to from noisy measurements. In addition, the course introduces multiple topics on dynamical neural modeling and inference and their application to basic neuroscience and neurotechnology design:
- How to develop multiscale dynamical models and filters?
- How to study neural dynamics across spatiotemporal scales?
- How to dissociate and model behaviorally relevant neural dynamics?
- How to model neural dynamics in response to electrical stimulation input?
- How to apply these techniques in developing brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) to restore lost motor or emotional function?
