CDS 270 Course Details
There are videos, slides, and reading in a dropbox folder.
Course videos and slides are in subfolder CDS270.
Currently there are just a few sets of videos in these subfolders of CDS270:
1.Overview These give a quick overview of the questions motivating this class, primarily using the human nervous system, but mentioning bacteria and the Internet. These will also be the first videos to watch for the class. There is also a folder with some related papers.
2.NeuroIntroTheory A quick introduction to the theory that connects speed/accuracy tradeoffs in spiking neurons with speed/accuracy tradeoffs at the system level.
I'll continue to add to these.
You might want to download the videos, as dropbox will run them in preview mode, which limits their length.
