CS-421: Machine learning for behavioral dataComputer environments such as educational games, interactive simulations, and web services provide large amounts of data, which can be analyzed and serve as a basis for adaptation. This course will cover the core methods of user modeling and personalization, with a focus on educational data.
CS-444: Virtual realityThe goal of VR is to embed the users in a potentially complex virtual environment while ensuring that they are able to react as if this environment were real. The course provides a human perception-action background and describes the key programming techniques for achieving efficient VR applications
HUM-478: Emotion and value IWe are urged to live emotionally rich and fulfilling lives, but the meaning of this injunction is often mysterious or even suspect. This course addresses, from a philosophical perspective and in a cool and systematic manner, the role emotions play in our epistemic, ethical and aesthetical lives.
CS-503: Visual intelligence : machines and mindsThe course will discuss classic material as well as recent advances in computer vision and machine learning relevant to processing visual data with a primary focus on embodied intelligence and vision for active agents.
HUM-479: Emotion and value IIWe are urged to live emotionally rich and fulfilling lives, but what does it mean? This project-basead seminar explore the role of specific emotions play in our lives.
ME-498: Continuous improvement of manufacturing systemsContinuous Improvement encompasses the ongoing effort to capture, create, and deliver value to internal and external customers. This course equips students with practical skills and tools to improve products/services/processes with the support of technology and empowering people.
BIO-311: NeuroscienceThe course starts with fundamentals of electrical - and chemical signaling in neurons. Students then learn how neurons in the brain receive and process sensory information, and how other neurons control the behavior of an animal. Furthermore, memory, learning, and brain disorders will be introduced.
HUM-213: Cognitive psychology AEn Psychologie Cognitive nous nous intéressons aux processus mentaux, c'est à dire aux événements internes se produisant entre la stimulation sensorielle et l'expression manifeste d'un comportement. Nous étudions dans cette discipline des phénomènes comme la perception, l'attention ou la mémoire.
BIO-483: Neuroscience: behavior and cognitionThe goal is to guide students into the essential topics of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience. The challenge for the student in this course is to integrate the diverse knowledge acquired from those levels of analysis into a more or less coherent understanding of brain structure and function.
