Lectures on Computational
Neuroscience
These "webified" introductory lectures on computational
neuroscience are derived from lecture notes for an introductory biomedical
engineering course at the University of Colorado. The course, Brains,
Minds, and Computers is a survey of introductory concepts in neuroscience
and artificial neural networks, for upper division undergraduate and graduate
students in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
In these two 70 minute lectures, I used videotapes of tutorial
simulations performed with the
GENESIS simulator, which I've replaced with still images in the web
version. Students will get the most out of these lectures if they have
had a basic introduction to neuron membrane properties and signaling in
an introductory neuroscience text similar to the ones in this
list. Of course, it is even better if it is possible for the students
to interactively run the tutorials themselves. Detailed instructions for
using the tutorials are contained within the GENESIS distribution and
in The Book
of GENESIS: Exploring Realistic Neural Models with the GEneral NEural
SImulation System.
