Today I will be teaching my undergrad course "How to build a brain from scratch" for the 2nd year running. I've put the materials online - include a document with all lecture slides and notes, which is about as long as a decent novel. Enjoy! humaninformationprocessing.com/teaching/

I wrote this about a year ago. Re-reading, it's astonishing how much has happened in the neuro/AI space in the last 12 months. I need to add a ton of new references!

Hi Chris - It is totally amazing that you are teaching this stuff on the undergrad Psychology course. I never thought I would see the day this would happen. Congrats and thanks. T

Really nice! For your module on generative models, I would like to suggest our RCN paper, which has exactly this kind of shape-object factorization and is an example of a neuroscience inspired predictive-coding model that works in practice. science.sciencemag.org/content/358/63… pic.twitter.com/CViGu8Tuzv

Wow this is exemplary! I'm reading it on an iPad during my long subway commute, and really appreciate how clear it is! This course would've changed my life as an undergrad :)

Wow! That looks hard!! Also I initially read it literally & thought "oh great, i need a new brain, wonder if they'll have spares after the class"🤔

That is an amazing resource! Thank you for sharing. I would encourage to even put it into arxiv so that more people would find it. I hope you can publish this as a book in the long run.

This is really great, Chris! Thanks very much for putting all these material together and for sharing it with us.
@TonyZador, an excellent example for your recent "written talks" proposal :)

I wish they'd taught me that on my 2nd year! Can I please sit on your class? 😉
