| Kursens syfte | The purpose of the course is to introduce doctoral students to computational techniques for modelling and analysing cognitive neuroscience data, giving them practical experience applying these tools so that they acquire enough understanding to enable them to 1) critically interpret the results of the studies in the field and 2) adapt them to new experimental paradigms for their own research. |
| Kursens lärandemål | After successful course completion, the students will be able to independently use software packages to analyse behavioural data from cognitive neuroscience experiments. |
| Kursens innehåll | The course will cover both theory-driven computational modelling and data-driven analysis approaches. Theory-driven approaches: Bayesian modelling; introduction to reinforcement learning; classical models for decision-making tasks (drift diffusion model, intertemporal choice). Data-driven approaches: supervised and unsupervised models in machine learning; classification and regression; dimensionality reduction; validation. |
| Arbetsformer | Lectures. Hands-on sessions with practical exercises. |
| Obligatoriska moment | Attending the lectures and hands-on sessions is mandatory. Absence from a lecture may be compensated by writing an essay on the corresponding topic. The final examination (both presentation and assignment) is compulsory. |
| Examination | Examination consists of a practical assignment where students will model and analyse behavioural data from a cognitive neuroscience experiment. The results will be reported and presented in front of the other students in the last session. |
| Kurslitteratur och övriga läromedel | Sutton R & Barto A, Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. McElreath R, Statistical Rethinking. Wagenmakers M & Lee E, Bayesian Cognitive Modeling. |
