Learning outcomes
The students know the subject and the methods of analysis, modelling and simulation of perception and action processes at different levels of abstraction. They have knowledge of probabilistic models and the mathematical modelling of questions in cognitive neuroscience and can understand and apply algorithms and solution strategies.
