This includes the time, the day and the room for the seminar as well as basic within-group communication facilities such as a mailing list and our Web page. We will start with a quick and partial overview of neuroscience and then computation. We will then sketch some of the research projects at CBCL to get the feeling for scientific problems at the intersection between computers and brains. Next we will describe the available projects and assign them to student teams. In the second part of the semester we will hear and discuss the reports of the teams to the class.
