MIT - Intro to Neural Computation​
2018
A fascinating course on neural computation. Michale Fee articulates difficult ideas in an easily digestible manner. It’s quite an interdisciplinary course as it draws from concepts in biochemistry, CS, math, ML, physics, and neuroscience. The course definitely increased my appreciation for the complexity of neurons. And the last class is on Hopfield networks!

UChicago - Understanding The Brain: The Neurobiology of Everyday Life​
2016
A great course to learn more about neurobiology.

Neuromatch -  academy & conference​
Continuously updated
While the conference has plenty of interesting talks and (somewhat) productive debates, the academy features a long list of awesome tutorials ranging from network causality to real neurons to RL.
