Math Meets Mind: Applied Mathematics in Neuropsychiatry
NEURO 101NN

Course Information

Description

 

This course seeks to address the question: How can mathematical theories deepen our understanding of neuropsychiatric conditions? By exploring various mathematical frameworks and their applications in neuropsychiatry, the students will uncover insights into the underlying principles governing the mind, neural systems, and their role in shaping behavior.

 

This course will draw from a diverse range of disciplines and approaches, including mathematics, neuroscience, and psychology. We will cover topics such as Graph Theory, Bayes theorem, Dynamical systems theory, among others. Through a multidisciplinary lens, we will examine how these theories intersect with neuropsychiatric research to provide novel perspectives on the workings of the mind, brain, and behavior. After having a more comprehensive understanding of the theories presented, the students will attempt to apply them to solve neuropsychiatry-related challenges.
