Biological modeling of neural networks
Weekly outline
-
Lecturer: Wulfram Gerstner
Assistants: Mahsa Barzegarkeshteli, Sophia Becker, Flavio Martinelli
Lectures: Monday 9 am - 12 pm (in INM200) with in-class exercises
Exercises: Monday 12 pm - 1 pm (in INM200) with Q&A and computer exercises
In this course, we study mathematical models of neurons and neuronal networks in the context of biology and establish links to models of cognition. The focus is on brain dynamics approximated by deterministic or stochastic differential equations.
The course consists of in-person lectures, pen & pencil exercises, Python exercises, and graded miniprojects.
The course has a Piazza page for questions.
