Thank you for showing your interest in joining this reading group for Neural Computation. In the starting, we are assuming zero knowledge of neuroscience and a basic understanding of probability, linear algebra & computer science. We will be starting off by following the syllabus of 15-686: Neural Computation Some other courses we'll try to follow during the course of this reading group: 1) 85-765 Cognitive Neuroscience 2) 42-688: Introduction to Neural Engineering For weekly meetings, please vote on the timings at https://www.vyte.in/e/g42q4a42al (This assumes we start in the 3rd week of april). We will be starting off with one hour meetings and can expand the times if we feel the need to. I have also created a discord server for more robust communication, feel free to join it : https://discord.gg/VRr8gUCZUh .

Message-ID: Hi Folks, Just wanted to let you know that I am starting off by reading Brain Facts ( http://www.brainfacts.org/book), which is a wide overview of all the core principles and concepts known in the world of neuroscience now. I'll be posting the summaries of what I read on the discord channel as notion pages! Feel free to follow along so we can ask each other questions/post summaries as we read the primer! -- Thanks & Regards Akshaj Jain Graduate Student (M.S.
