Training in Methods in Computational Neuroscience

Abstract

This four week course was offered for the second time at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Twenty students were selected from a pool of 52 highly qualified applicants. Students who were prepared in both computer science and neuroscience were selected because they could benefit immediately from the high level discussion without much additional training in either discipline. The course had two lectures per day plus a laboratory wherein students worked with GENESIS, the simulation software developed at Caltech. Once familiar with GENESIS, students undertook a simulation project. The reports of this project are attached. Keywords: Neurology courses education; Neurophysiology computer program; Teaching methods.
