This lesson contains practical exercises which accompanies the first few lessons of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML) course. 

This video briefly goes over the exercises accompanying Week 6 of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML) course, Understanding Neural Networks.

This lesson provides an introduction to modeling single neurons, as well as stability analysis of neural models.

This lesson continues a thorough description of the concepts, theories, and methods involved in the modeling of single neurons. 

In this lesson you will learn about fundamental neural phenomena such as oscillations and bursting, and the effects these have on cortical networks. 

This lesson continues discussing properties of neural oscillations and networks. 

In this lecture, you will learn about rules governing coupled oscillators, neural synchrony in networks, and theoretical assumptions underlying current understanding.

This lesson provides a continued discussion and characterization of coupled oscillators. 

This lesson gives an overview of modeling neurons based on firing rate. 

This lesson characterizes the pattern generation observed in visual system hallucinations.

This lesson gives an introduction to stability analysis of neural models.

This lesson continues from the previous lectures, providing introduction to stability analysis of neural models.

In this lesson, you will learn about phenomena of neural populations such as synchrony, oscillations, and bursting.

This lesson continues from the previous lecture, giving an overview of various neural phenomena such as oscillations and bursting. 

This lesson provides more context around weakly coupled oscillators.

This lesson builds upon previous lectures in this series, providing an overview of coupled oscillators.

In this lesson, you will learn about neuronal models based on their spike rate. 

In this lesson, you will learn about neural activity pattern generation in visual system hallucinations.

The goal of computational modeling in behavioral and psychological science is using mathematical models to characterize behavioral (or neural) data. Over the past decade, this practice has revolutionized social psychological science (and neuroscience) by allowing researchers to formalize theories as constrained mathematical models and test specific hypotheses to explain unobservable aspects of complex social cognitive processes and behaviors. This course is composed of 4 modules in the format of Jupyter Notebooks. This course comprises lecture-based, discussion-based, and lab-based instruction. At least one-third of class sessions will be hands-on. We will discuss relevant book chapters and journal articles, and work with simulated and real data using the Python programming language (no prior programming experience necessary) as we survey some selected areas of research at the intersection of computational modeling and social behavior. These selected topics will span a broad set of social psychological abilities including (1) learning from and for others, (2) learning about others, and (3) social influence on decision-making and mental states.
