This course is designed to cover diverse topics in systems neurobiology. Hear about : signal processing and cortical encoding of sensory information (auditory, mechanical, olfactory and visual systems), new and exciting ideas on the role of the cerebellum, Alzheimer disease and decision making processes. These themes will be breached and illustrated in a wide range of models used in modern day neurosciences (drosophila, nematodes, rodents, and primates including humans).

The teaching unit is composed of lectures (35h) and directed studies sessions (10h) that are designed to complement the themes covered in the lectures. Directed studies sessions are devoted to the analysis of scientific articles, and can take different forms ranging from a small-group presentations to a collective analysis and round-table discussion. A major goal of the directed studies sessions is to adopt and practice a critical thinking approach to scientific reading. The oral component of these sessions will contribute to the development and fine-tuning of scientific communication skills through collective and participative discussions.

Cet enseignement donne une vision des méthodes de l’apprentissage dans le contexte de la robotique et l’interaction homme-robot (HRI). Nous couvrons la perception du robot dans ce cadre, le raisonnement, l'intelligence artificielle et les aspects d'apprentissage automatique. Les étudiants apprennent également comment concevoir et analyser des expériences pour évaluer les systèmes HRI. Nous appliquons cet apprentissage aussi à travers la discussion d'articles séminaux et récents sur l’interaction sociale, le travail d'équipe et la collaboration, l'apprentissage automatique avec les humains dans la boucle, le dialogue verbal et non verbal incarné, et plus encore.
