CGS600A: Computational Tools for Cognitive Science

Course Description

The objective of this course is to equip students to be able to program the design, experimentation and analysis of sophisticated cognitive science studies independently, and to be able to implement and fit simple cognitive models to behavioral data. The course will be taught primarily in python, although we will also dip into JavaScript based web programming stack a little bit. Students who succeed in this course will be able to code independently, without having to rely on third party libraries.

Course Content

Linux, programming basics, algorithms, data processing, experiment design, modelling, analysis, optimization
