"Analysis and Models in Neurophysiology"

Aim of the course:

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.

The course includes various topics such as:

• Neuron Models and Point Processes (Prof. Stefan Rotter)
  
• Local field potentials (Prof. Ulrich Egert)
  
• Neural Coding (Dr. Robert Schmidt)
  
• Neural Decoding (Prof. Carsten Mehring)
  

The course will consist of lectures in the morning and and matching exercises using Matlab, Mathematica and Python in the afternoon.
