Abstract:
Theoretical neuroscience comes in three intertwined strands: data analysis, which is of ever greater importance in the present age of burgeoning big neural data; mathematical neuroscience, offering quantitative accounts spanning levels of description; and computational neuroscience, predicated on the fact that brains solve complex information processing problems. This lecture will review elements of each of these, focusing on the ever richer understanding of normal and dysfunctional affectively-charged decision-making.
