COGS 138 - Neural Data Science - Voytek [WI22]

Neuroscience is a rapidly changing field that is increasingly moving towards ever larger and more diverse datasets that are analyzed using increasingly sophisticated computational statistical methods. There is a strong need for neuroscientists who can think deeply about problems that incorporate information from a wide array of domains including psychology and behavior, cognitive science, genomics, pharmacology and chemistry, biophysics, statistics, and AI/ML. With its focus on combining many large, multidimensional, heterogeneous datasets to answer questions and solve problems, data science provides a framework for achieving this goal.
