NEUR155L KS - Selected Topics in Computational Neuroscience

This course will introduce future neuroscientists, physicians, and business entrepreneurs to the way that computational scientists create ideas starting at the black board. A variety of qualitative techniques are introduced together with computer software packages to illustrate the fundamental principles. These tools can be used even by non-mathematically oriented students to learn how to propose key experiments that can be tested at the bench top and bedside. Formerly listed as BIOL155L KS.

Prerequisites: BIOL 043L KS and BIOL 044L KS or equivalent, or NEUR 133L KS; and permission of the instructor. Familiarity with at least one computer programming language and an introduction to differential equations is strongly recommended.
