<b>Aim of the course:</b><br>
<br>
The course is intended to provide advanced Diploma/Masters and PhD
students, as well as young researchers from the neurosciences with
approaches for the analysis of electrophysiological data and the
theoretical concepts behind them.<br>
<br>
<b>The course includes various topics such as</b>:<br>
<ul>
<li>Neuron models and spike train statistics</li>
<li>Point processes and correlation measures</li>
<li>Systems and signals</li>
