Emerging Topics in Integrated Machine Learning Systems (ELEC0139)

This module consists of a series of weekly seminars delivered by high-profile academics,
industrialists, or other stakeholders in machine learning technology to expose students to the most
cutting-edge topics in the field, including recent advances in machine learning theory, algorithms, and
applications, as well as issues such as privacy, fairness and ethics in artificial intelligence. Each
student will be required to maintain an up-to-date blog reporting the state-of-the-art in key topics.

Basic Neuroscience and Investigation of Nervous System (CLNE0009)

This module gives an introduction to basic cellular neuroscience and some of the applications used for research in neuroscience. Building on basic principles it will also give a comprehensive overview of genetics, cellular biology, principles of neurotransmission and the functions of cells of the nervous system.

This module will provide you with an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease and some of the investigatory tools used such as EEG, TMS, MRI, fMRI, along with learning basic brain anatomy. This material provides the theoretical basis for topics explored in other modules on the programme.

At the end of the module you will have an understanding of (i) the genetics of disorders of the central nervous system, (ii) brain metabolism, neurotransmitters and neurodegeneration & iii) the function of different cells in the nervous system. This understanding will be supported by lectures on brain anatomy, basic cell science & neuropathology, EEG, MRI, fMRI and TMS.
