计算神经科学与神经信息学理学硕士

本课程提供有关核心神经信息学（例如计算和生物学）的专业知识，重点在于研究技能的发展。它为您提供了有助于对神经活动和发育进行生物逼真的模拟的技能。这些正迅速成为神经信息学研究的重点。纽卡斯尔是英国神经信息学的先驱之一，并主持了由EPSRC资助的400万英镑CARMEN项目，用于管理和处理电生理数据。我们目前正在参与一项由EPSRC / Wellcome Trust资助的1000万英镑的项目。这是在用于癫痫患者的可植入设备上。我们使用计算机模拟来告知刺激位置和协议。随着神经科学中数据量的增加，需要用于数据存储
This course provides specialist expertise in core neuroinformatics (such as computing and biology) focusing on the development of research skills. It equips you with the skills to contribute to biologically realistic simulations of neural activity and developments. These are rapidly becoming the key focus of neuroinformatics research. Newcastle is among the pioneers of neuroinformatics in the UK and hosted the £4m EPSRC-funded CARMEN project for managing and processing electrophysiology data. We are currently involved in a £10m EPSRC/Wellcome Trust-funded project. This is on implantable devices for epilepsy patients. We use computer simulations to inform about the stimulation location and protocol. As the amount of data in the neurosciences increases, new tools for data storage and management are needed. These tools include cloud computing and workflows, as well as better descriptions of neuroscience data. Available data can inform computer simulations of neural dynamics and development. Parallel computing and new algorithms are needed in order to run large-scale simulations. There is high demand within academia as well as within industry involving healthcare informatics, brain-inspired computing, and brain-inspired hardware architectures.<br> <br>###COVID Alert Message from University – This course is offered online and will continue on campus later.
