Course description

The electrical activity within the nervous system represents information about the external world, the internal state, and the commands to control the body. This transformation between the information represented in the neural pathways and the electrical activity of neurons is referred to as the neural code. This course provides an overview of the underlying biological processes that give rise to neural activity, the models of neural encoding and decoding including leading hypotheses about information representation, and the extension of these models to population encoding in neural circuits. This course is organized into thematic sections with formal lectures on critical topics to gain exposure to state-of-the-art neural engineering.
