Topics
This part of the module "Acquisition and Analysis of Neural Data" of the Master Program in Computational Neuroscience provides knowledge on statistical analyses of neural data:
Part 1: Analysis of Spike Trains (Introduction to Linear Systems Theory, Introduction to Point Process Theory, Autoregressive Models for Neural Spike Trains, Correlation Analysis of Neural Spike Trains)
Part 2: Statistical analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) data, e.g., investigation of event-related potentials (ERPs) and event-related desynchronization (ERD); spatial filters; classification, adaptive classifiers.
Requirements
Requirements: Basic knowledge in Neurobiology and Mathematics at the level of the first year of the Masters Program in Computational Neuroscience.
To obtain course certificates, at least 75% of the lectures (2 ECTS) must be attended, and at least 75% of the points in the exercises (5 ECTS) must be obtained.
