<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 Point Processes (Prof. Stefan Rotter)<br>
</li>
<li>Local field potentials (Prof. Ulrich Egert)<br>
</li>
<li>Neural Coding (Dr. Robert Schmidt)<br>
</li>
<li>Neural Decoding (Prof. Carsten Mehring)<br>
</li>
</ul>
The course will consist of lectures in the morning and and matching
exercises using Matlab, Mathematica and Python in the afternoon.
Experience with these software packages will be helpful but is not
required for registration. The participants should have a basic
understanding of scientific programming. This course is designated
especially for advanced diploma/master-students and PhD-students
(preferentially in their first year).<br>
