This lecture introduces the concept of controlling behavior in animals and robots, exploring historical perspectives on the brain's role in behavior. It delves into how individual neurons can activate specific behaviors and presents a schematic model of behavioral control. The lecture discusses the use of Drosophila as a model organism due to its powerful genetic tools and the ease of tracking limb movements. It also covers advanced techniques like 2-photon fluorescence microscopy and DeepInterpolation for denoising neuronal data. The lecture concludes with a mini-project organization for students to familiarize themselves with data, pre-processing, and data plotting.
