Course Objectives: | To provide basic and advanced knowledge on the application of innovative deep learning techniques in health sciences, to support them with computer applications, to introduce the principles of constructing scientific experiment paradigms for research in behavioral neuroscience and to encourage students to construct original scientific research. |
Course Content: | Theoretical lectures introducing deep learning algorithms, clinical decision support systems and behavioral neuroscience diseases will be supported by practical computer applications using medical data. A guideline will be defined at the beginning of the semester for scientific research term projects combining the theoretical topics taught and computer applications. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Innovative developments in computer science are important for the generation of intelligent diagnostic support tools from medical data. The development of evidence-based and computational decision support systems for early diagnosis, definitive diagnosis and treatment monitoring in neuro-physiological, neuro-psychological and neuro-psychiatric diseases is a global requirement recommended by the World Health Organization. 2) Within the scope of this course, this topic will be taught and introduced in a broad and integrative range from innovative paradigm designs, computational modeling and deep learning adaptation to clinical goals and scales. |
