Introduction to Neural Networks: Course Description

Synaptic connectivity is explored in the free MIT OpenCourseWare, 'Introduction to Neural Networks.' Professor Sebastian Seung taught this course that centers on topics that include Hebbian learning, backpropagation, perception models and motor control. Basic mathematical concepts are used to understand response in neural networks. Additional topics discussed include neural development and memory. Frequent feedback loops that dominate brain connectivity are also covered. The original MIT course was a brain and cognitive science master's program elective choice.

This free OpenCourseWare includes a brief course reading list, class lecture notes, sample classroom assignments and downloadable study materials. To view these varied course materials, visit the neuroscience course page.
