270003 Vertiefungsseminar Kognitive Neurowissenschaften: Mind, Brain, Machine: Models of Learning (S) (BS) (WiSe 2025/2026)

This seminar explores how humans and computers learn, comparing insights from cognitive neuroscience with concepts from computational modeling. Across several core topics, we will examine human cognitive phenomena, their biological underpinnings in the brain, and corresponding approaches in artificial systems. By discussing similarities and differences between natural and artificial learning, students will gain a deeper understanding of both neuroscience and computational perspectives. Active participation and hands-on exercises will foster critical reflection on what it means to "learn" in minds and machines.
