- Description
- The artificial intelligence and behavioral neuroscience major combines the disciplines of biology, psychology, computer science, and data science into an integrated curriculum. The human brain is a complex information processing system requiring scientists to analyze, integrate, and share large datasets garnered from multiple techniques that image and record the activity of the brain at work. Students investigate the anatomy and physiology of neural circuits that underlie brain mechanisms and pathological states that give rise to behavioral functions. Students have an opportunity to develop skills in large-scale data manipulation and storage, machine learning, data mining, and information visualization necessary to execute big brain-mapping initiatives including human neuroconnectivity maps.
