BSR0908 Introduction to AI/Deep Learning in Biomedical Research and the Clinic
Credits: 1 Offered: Fall
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) become increasingly applied in biomedical sciences, it is critical that trainees, researchers, and clinicians are made aware of both technical and ethical issues related to AI. In this course we will start with review of the terminology in AI-based tools and key networks being used in medical applications, such as medical imaging, regression analysis and time prediction. We will understand key works published in the space, be able to critically assess their contribution, as well as their clinical value. A key factor in making AI successful is the correct definition and use of Data. We will review how data must be defined, extracted, and structured for the effective application of AI & ML. Making the data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR), is a key factor in building strong network models that can be used in the clinic. Additional attention will be given to bias and ethical issues that need to be addressed in the development of the models and in their clinical testing. Overall, we will cover the variety of challenges that must be overcome for AI to reach its full potential.

Offered every other year on the odd year.
BSR3102 Principles of Scientific Proposals
Credits: 0.5 Offered: Fall
This semesterly-offered course will aim to inform and instruct students on the process of applying for a predoctoral fellowship.

BSR6709 Consciousness: How the Hard Problem can Inform Exper Studies
Credits: 2 Offered: Fall
The term hard problem articulates the difficulty of explaining the transition between physical (e.g., neurons) and phenomenal entities (e.g., colors). Thus, why is any merely neural dynamic the basis for any phenomenal experience at all? Alternatively, if we induce some neural dynamic, why does the inductee not merely experience neurons firing, rather than, e.g., seeing phosphenes? I will begin with a brief philosophical overview and move to computational and neurally oriented efforts to address this most central issue of the problem of consciousness.
