University College Maastricht
Computational Neuroscience Project: "Neurobotics"
Full course description
This is an interdisciplinary project where students work in groups to design and build a small robotic vehicle that can perform (simple) cognitive and motor tasks. The project is driven by to provide a solution to a domain-specific problem, which requires the application of Computational Neuroscience methods.Course objectives
To provide students the opportunity to learn and apply knowledge about computational neuroscience in the context of a team-based design project.Prerequisites
Generally, to successfully complete this project it is highly recommended (but not mandatory) that students have taken one or more courses related to computer science and/ or neuroscience (such as SCI2011 Introduction to Programming, SCI2036 Artificial Intelligence, SCI2039 Computer Science, SCI2034 Functional Neuroanatomy, and SCI3046 Cognitive Neuroscience). If you would like to join this project, you need to apply for it by filling in the application form on the intranet (UCM Students). Part of this form asks you to elaborate on your motivation to follow the project. This should cover an explanation as to how participating in the project adds to your curriculum, why you think you are well prepared to follow the project and an overview of the relevant courses that you took. The application needs to be submitted in advance of the course registration deadline. The course coordinator reserves the right to select amongst the student who sign-up for the project. If you cannot join, then you are informed on time to join your backup project. Please indicate the backup project on your course registration form. Note: This is a time-consuming, full-time project with a high workload. In principle, students should take into account that they need to be available during entire weekdays throughout the project.PRO3021
