The Intro Course is a ten-week crash course in NeuroAI. Each week pairs a lecture with a unit: a reading from our course textbook, the i2 Grimoire, synthesis questions, and a project. Units have a technical track and a literacy track, so you can take the course with or without a programming background. Along the way you’ll pick up PyTorch, Jupyter notebooks, LaTeX, and the habit of teaching yourself.
All of the course materials are open, so you can also work through them on your own.
