This part of the site contains materials for Kenneth Harris' graduate course on "Neuroinformatics" (Spring 2022). Lectures will be delivered in person 11am-1pm Wednesdays in the SWC ground floor lecture room (at least that is our current plan!) and will also be recorded for those accessing remotely. Workshops will be at 1:30pm Wednesdays, location to be confirmed.
