CN550 develops neural network models of how internal representations of sensory events and cognitive hypotheses are learned and remembered, and of how such representations enable recognition and recall of these events. Various neural and statistical pattern recognition models, and their historical development and applications, are analyzed. Special attention is given to stable self-organization of pattern recognition and recall by Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) models. Mathematical techniques and definitions to support fluent access to the neural network and pattern recognition literature are developed throughout the course. Experimental data and theoretical analyses from cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and neurophysiology of normal and abnormal individuals are also discussed. Course work emphasizes skill development, including writing, mathematics, computational analysis, teamwork, and oral communication.
