MOOC: Neuronal Dynamics
© CEDE / EPFL 2017
The activity of neurons in the brain and the code used by these neurons is described by mathematical neuron models at different levels of detail.
This course gives an introduction to the field of theoretical and computational neuroscience with a focus on models of single neurons. Neurons encode information about stimuli in a sequence of short electrical pulses (spikes). Students will learn how mathematical tools such as differential equations, phase plane analysis, separation of time scales, and stochastic processes can be used to understand the dynamics of neurons and the neural code.
