What You'll Learn

This is a proctored final exam that assesses participants' mastery of the material from the three courses that are part of the MicroBachelors® program:

  • MCB80.1x: Electrical Properties of the Neuron
  • MCB80.2x: Neurons and Networks
  • MCB80.3x: The Brain

The course will be delivered via edX and connect learners around the world.

Your Instructor

Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Computer Science, Harvard University
David Cox is an Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and of Computer Science, and is a member of the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University. He completed his Ph.D. in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT with a specialization in computational neuroscience.
 
His laboratory seeks to understand the computational underpinnings of visual processing through concerted efforts in both reverse- and forward-engineering. To this end, his group employs a wide range of experimental techniques (ranging from microelectrode recordings in living brains to visual psychophysics in humans) to probe natural systems, while at the same time actively developing practical computer vision systems based on what is learned about the brain.
