Course Aims

How the brain computes is a long-lasting question to understand various brain functions and phenomena. Thanks to the development of different numerical techniques, computational models, and experimental discoveries, the investigation of computational aspects in Neuroscience has become possible. This course aims to promote the awareness of computational aspects in Neuroscience. Prior experience in computer languages is not necessary to do well in this course. Topics covered in this course include computational models for ion channels, models for synapses, models for neurons, descriptive models, neural coding, information theory, and analysis of neural data. In addition, implementations of computational models and analytic techniques will be exercised.
