    Welcome !


    Course discussions and announcements happen in Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/ipnc2023/shared_invite/zt-1ltgi8buu-A7S6vXI6m_kwIIWqgv_Q6Q. You can also easily contact the course assistant (Jussi Tiihonen) via Slack at any time.


    After completing the course, you are able to:

    • Explain the basic principles of information processing in neural circuits
    • Define coding information and reconstruction of stimuli based on neural information
    • Quantify the information content of a spike train
    • Analyze the fundamental constraints arising from noise on neural circuit function
    • Perform basic mathematical analysis to characterize neural signals and noise
    • Explain the basic requirements for fidelity and specificity of neural circuit function
    • Give examples of neural circuit computations and neural codes in well-defined neural circuits.
