This course explores cognitive maps, which are internal models the brain uses to generate flexible behavior across different contexts. The learning outcomes include understanding the concept of cognitive maps, exploring the zoo of neurons in the hippocampal formation, learning about non-spatial mapping, graph formalism, latent spaces, and factorized representations. The teaching method involves a video lecture format with references to scientific studies. The course is intended for individuals interested in computational neuroscience, cognitive science, or brain research.
