Neuroinformatics

The Neuroinformatics Course concentrates on modelling of neurons, stochastic learning on cellular level, information coding and decoding in brain and single unit processing. Examples from clinical practices are provided throughout the course. The labs focus on signal neuron analysis from human and animal brain.

The course deals with data and application of computational models and analytical tools in the field of neurosciences.

Prerequisites: Signal Theory, Statistics and Reliability in Medicine, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.
