Neuroscience
CMSC 2891
A course titled "Rise of the Machines" (CMSC 289I) is being offered this coming Fall. This course introduces the basic ideas underlying attempts to produce machine intelligence, including logic, search, cognitive modeling, brain modeling, and artificial life. We consider what it means to say that a machine can be intelligent, and the implications/dangers of AI in general. We also examine how existing AI technology differs from that presented in science fiction literature and film. The material is presented at a level that would be appropriate for undergraduates in psychology. No previous computer programming experience is needed, but we do assume students know how to use a computer (Windows, Mac OS/X, or Linux), a browser, email, and basic word processing (e.g., MS Word). High school algebra and a basic knowledge of probabilities are also needed.
The course satisfies CORE requirements in Mathematics or Formal Reasoning. A syllabus and further information will be available soon under Class Web Pages Fall 2011 off of the computer science department's web page (http://www.cs.umd.edu).
