Fall semester 2011
551-0343-00L
This course is organized by the Institute of Neuroinformatics. Its main emphasis is on the computations performed by ensembles of neurons in the central nervous system. It is organized into several modules, each directed by one institute member. Each module comprises theory and "hands-on" experience. The modules are listed (or will be soon) below. This course follows the block course "computational neuroscience", but can be taken independently.
