ECE 796 / Models of the Neuron

3 unit(s)

I. Bruce (cross-listed as BIOMED 796 and CSE 796)

This course provides a solid conceptual and quantitative background in the modeling of biological neurons and how they function as computational devices. Practical experience will be gained in modeling neurons from a number of perspectives, including equivalent electrical circuits, nonlinear dynamical systems, and random point-processes, and an introduction to the mathematics required to understand and implement these different engineering methodologies will be given.
