85-435 Biologically Intelligent Exploration

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Humans and other mammals exhibit a high degree of control when selecting actions in noisy contexts, quickly adapting to unexpected outcomes in order to better exploit opportunities arising in the future. This course will explore both the cognitive and neurobiological systems of adaptive decisionmaking, through a mixture of readings, lectures, and handson modeling projects in Python and Matlab.

Prerequisites: (85-211 or 85-213) and (21-120 or 21-115 or 21-111)
