Neural Computation lectures

This semester (Fall 2024), I’m TAing a graduate course called Neural Computation, taught by Bruno Olshausen. Inspired by Ben Recht’s lecture posts, I will try to write a short post every week or so with my annotations of that week’s lectures. Course content is on the website.

1. What is neural computation?

2. Why do we need a brain?

3. The brain as a statistician

4. The ear does not do a Fourier transform

5. Neural nonlinearities

6. Time versus rate
