In this class you will learn how to build, simulate, and fit computational models to behavioral data. We will focus on three classes of closely related models on economic decision making, perceptual decision making, and reinforcement learning. This is very much a hands-on class and much of your time will be spent coding the models up for yourself in Python or Matlab. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own models and experiments in two mini-projects that take the place of the midterm and final.
