Please re-read Article III of the Academic Honor Code, which describes conducts that are considered unacceptable (cheating, violating the US Copyright law, etc).
This course covers mathematical and computational modeling of neuronal networks. It is the continuation of Analytical Computational Neuroscience (Math 635). We assume knowledge of the topics taught there.
This class will rely heavily on students presentations of certain papers, class participation and homework (including a final project).
Student Presentations: ...... 50%
Homework: ........................ 30%
Class Participation........... 20%
