<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>Systems and Signals (Prof. Stefan Rotter)<br>
</li>
<li>Local field potentials (Prof. Ulrich Egert)<br>
</li>
<li>Neural Coding (Dr. Robert Schmidt)<br>
