The Honours Degree in Neural Computation at McMaster University , established in 1996, is a multi-disciplinary programme, reflecting a diverse field of study which includes how the brain computes, as well as how artificial neural networks can be applied to problems like automatic speech recognition and robotic control.
Students can enter the programme after completing a year of general science courses.
Related courses in the neurobiology of learning and memory, artificial intelligence, and modelling in behavioural neurosciences sciences, illustrate neural network modelling in Biology, Computer Science and Psychology. Students also complete an honours thesis in their fourth year, which involves a major project in any area of Neural Computation. There are many faculty members doing neural network research at McMaster who can supervise the fourth year thesis.
