When I was younger, I went to law school after graduating with a physics degree, because there were few jobs in physics. Now that I am a middle-aged, I am trying to get a degree in applied mathematics, because I have always been interested in math and physics, and just went into the law as a practical matter. So, I really appreciate these videos. It is nice to know that there are other people out there who are also interested in learning math on their own to grow intellectually.
How is your quest going? If it helps to hear, I never finished undergraduate degree and it bothered me. Finally at 39 yrs old, I decided to go back to pursue cognitive neuroscience while a single parent of two children. It’s tough to manage dueling demands, but if your driven by pursuit of knowledge, the course work takes care of itself. Transitioned from contractor to 4.0 student with 2nd publication in the works and entering PHD program next Fall. If I can do it, you certainly can!!
I’m relieved to see the three topics you chose for folks to focus on. I’m still in my undergrad and when my Psychology courses didn’t include much math, I decided to go out on a limb and take these courses. I wasn’t sure if they’d be helpful at the time but now I couldn’t recommend them more to folks who are in the field of Psychology. Dope stuff as always 👍
Just dropped in to say thank you so much for making these videos. You're an awesome educator. You've emboldened me with this structural outline to continue my comp neuro education. Literally could not begin to express enough gratitude 🙏
Resources I like: Multivariate Analysis by Mardia (graduate level probability & linear algebra) Bayesian Statistics by Lee (graduate level statistics) I never study to the exam. I'm the nerd who studies to understand everything. How to derive the Student-t distribution from nothing. How to derive the Nernst Equation from practically nothing. All that agonizing jazz. But I will add to your tips: get solutions manuals if available for whatever book/online class you use & study example problems. They're so great!
My Dear Charlotte, thank you, thank you very much. At last I found myself as a computer neuroscientist and all because of you. Thank you for show me my path in life. I love you as student as a teacher.
Thanks for sharing these tips...absolutely fantastic. I'm still in my undergrad in Computer Engineering, i like to follow your area expertise there so much passion for it.
Hi I am a neuroscience student (unfortunately at my uni the content it is mostly neurobiology) and am currently doing an internship in the field of computational neuroscience. I recently found a book "Mathematical basis of neuroscience" and would recommend it 😊
Something like this for neuroscience for people with no biology background. What biology basics should they know before hand to understand neuroscience? A roadmap for the most basics biology topics would be helpful (like what is a cell, organ.. etc). And a roadmap of neuroscience
This is a fantastic video, actually, I am a Ph.D. student in biomedicine, and your videos are so helpful; they're making my journey less lonely as well. Thanks :*
Wish I could found this video earlier! I just finished my second year in undergrad and math didn't include much in my biology courses. With papers I've read about cognitive neuroscience and computational neuroscience, methods used in analysis always include complex mathematical modelings and been the challenges for me to understand. And it took me almost a year to figure what maths that I need to understand those. And Thank you so much for the tips and your advices for these courses!!
Hey! First things first, great job with the channel!! Could you please do a video on career prospects after a PhD in Neuroscience apart from Academia? :)
A very helpful video for mathematics resources. Almost all of them coincide with the mathematics for machine learning. But the learning tips are the ones that really stand out.
Hello Charlotte, great video thanks,currently I am learning Artificial Intelligence and I have managed to train some models without even understand what’s going on under the hood but I know that if I want to progress even more in my learning I need to improve my math skills, I really appreciate the resources you shared I think they are goi g to help me a lot, I hope I find the time though
Thanks so much for the Seeing Theory suggestion!! Regarding Statistics, the lecture series "Statistics 110: Probability (2018)" from Harvard is also really good, the professor is very clear and (relatively) easy to understand :)
thanks allot where were you before i was struggling to learn Computational neuroscience since 2013 online but still failed and found you, hope allot from you. Im a person with special needs.
Hey Charlotte, I subscribed a few weeks ago after looking up Computational Neuroscience on youtube and I love the content on your channel! :) I am also super eager to study Computational Neuroscience for my Masters. One aspect in the application is relevant experience; do you know any projects you are excited about which could be an opportunity for people starting out to gain experience? That would be super helpful!
Thank you for sharing this. I am a physician/ data analyst interested in computational neuroscience. Currently looking for a phD on the topic. As suggestion: a video comparing different phd programs in Europe and U.S.? Also I loved the video where you interviewed a recent phD graduate, additional videos on this format would be super cool.
Grazie mille davvero ti ringrazio immensamente . Grazie amo l'algebra e questi studi immensi in parte computare il lato neurobiologico e neuroscientifico è teoricamente devastante ma anche sovrumano.
can you please make a video like this for how to learn programming and AI? and all other skills that you think are necessary for anyone who wants to get a Ph.D. in your field or relevant field.
Thank you very much for all these videos!! I'm a computer science student and I'm really interested in computational neuroscience, I have a good background in Maths and programming . If you could just do a video to learn neurosciences in details and how much time I will need to be able to enter to this field Thank you very much !!!
Your channel is a gem, Charlotte! Thank you so much for all these wonderfully crafted videos! I have a question: Do you think any one can learn math at this level after a certain age (27) and coming from a more social science background?
Hi, I am a 29 years old mathematician. I am doing the reverse of what you are saying. I am learning the psychology of branding, marketing, graphic design, business systems, business models, and advertising; in the meantime, I am also applying math in those fields. It has been a 5 year journey of continuous study. Strangely according to some, I am reading math books to relax from the study, now I am reading "The Riemann Zeta function" from H.M. Edwards. I am just starting web design from scratch this month. I am building something brand new as an entrepreneur using that massive knowledge.
is it possible to publish a scientific paper for some who does not have a bachelors degree yet? I'm a 1st year high schooler who invented his own programming language, and I am currently learning math and neuroscience beside computer science and robotics.
01:00 Are there any books/resources on how to divide straight into computational neuroscience without physics background? I heard of a book called Neuronal Dynamics Wulfram Gerstner where there aren't many prerequisites required, only math and programming are required no physics. Are there any book recs you have similar to this one?
Hi! I quite enjoyed your practical video on this subject and look forward to more videos of the sort. I’m currently doing my undergraduate in physics as well in the Netherlands, and I’m curious about the neurophysics masters offered at Radboud. Is this the masters you finished in order to get into your current PhD position? And what general tips do you have in terms of getting into the master’s program (regarding application & pre-requisites)? Thank you in advance!
I did the CNS master with the computational track, but indeed almost all my courses overlapped with the neurophysics master, so maybe I would recommend applying to both. From my experience the two thinks they ask for is a strong motivation (so read all the material online and know what you want to do after) and a strong math/physics background. If you have these things you will get in for sure and if not I would do a lot of selfstudy to prove I can keep up. Good luck applying 😊💪
Hi Charlotte! Your videos are great. I'm starting my neuroscience masters in the fall and I was wondering if you could shed some light on storing data. I'm working on my lab's data analysis for avian optic flow processing, and also a machine learning project on the side. I'm realizing that I'm running out of room to store my data, while keeping my notes for neuro classes tidy on my laptop. Any advice for using hard drives to backup experimental data, scripts, etc. and making efficient use of computer disc storage? Thanks!
Yes, this is a really big problem, to be honest I would discuss this with your professor if you can get more storage from the universities side, as these projects can get really big really fast. And else I would see if you can buy some extra storage on the cloud for example. Good luck with your masters 🌸
Hey Charlotte, thanks. I'd like to ask you a good book to begin computational neuroscience. I'm a mathematician but i know neuroscience not well. So which neuroscience book can you suggest me? Thanks a lot
Hi, great video! I would like to ask a question though. I'm going to start my journey towards becoming a computational neuroscientist in my bachelor's studies next year (it's actually titles "computatinal neuroscience"). I am wondering if and how should I combine the academy resources and learning program with self study like you suggest. If you have some insights about that I'll be more then happy to hear 😀
I think always start with the resources from your bachelor and as soon as you do not understand something or miss a certain topic supplement it with self learning. And I would start to read a lot of papers in comp neuroscience on my own (as they dont teach those) 😊
I’ve heard over and over that learning the mathematics behind computation is best done when you have a project and dive into the math when a road block is met. Having only taken math up to precal, I don’t know if this would work for me. I’m a med student working with some researchers in neuromodulation. I can’t do much now that requires anything past basic stats, but I’d like to change that with time. Would you recommend taking the time to learn the subjects by going through a full course on MIT or Khan (Calc & Linear A) or getting involved with a project and bootstrapping by consulting the courses throughout?
If you can I would always opt for taking a project and then having the courses as reference material on the side, because seeing the math in action makes it so much more meaningful :)
@@CharlotteFraza Thank you for the response. That is helpful. One more question: when you say that one need to learn calculus and linear algebra…is that all the topics within? If not, which topics within those larger topics need to be learned? Is there a document anywhere which lists them?
Hello mam .. i had one request, if you can help me out with that .. can u please list down some websites from where i can find PhD position in Europe and America,.. i know this is out of the topic ... But still if u can help ?
Hello Charlotte, I don't know if you have heard what Blake Lemoine has revealed recently regarding Google chat bot LamDa and the conclusion he came to realize that the AI has become sentient and as you are the expert, do you think that an AI could reach self awareness?

Introduction to mathematical thinking..
Have you ever used Deep Lab Cut? I will have to use it soon and I am just getting started with it.
what is future of computation neuroscience.
Does anyone know what the role of functional analysis (math) is in computational neuroscience and know of any articles that implement the topics?
thank you mam 🙃

@@CharlotteFraza I will definitely take a good look. Thank you so much for your answer! Have a great weekend and keep up the great videos!
Shoot, those three topics will take you pretty far in most fields. Not engineering, but any of the social sciences, humanities, and business.
Does the pharmaceutical industry directly benefit from comp. neuroscience? Or is it only having theoretical implications for the moment?
Have you read books on applied mathematics or applied computer science?
How can I get an idea for paper research?
