This course will discuss how we can use computational techniques 
to study the brain. Students will learn how to use concepts and 
algorithms from graph theory, data mining, and machine learning 
to study the structure and function of brain networks and gene and 
protein activities in healthy brains. 

The course will also cover how these ideas can be used to understand 
neurodegenerative diseases, developmental disorders, and psychiatric 
illnesses and find treatments for them.  

A key component of the course will be a substantial group project.
