- The student can analyse linear systems ain the time domain and frequency domain, and draw conclusions for the systems response to arbitrary stimuli
- The student can build elementary neural models and simulate them in the computer with Simulink
- The student can apply the elementary principles of spike analysis techniques
- The student understands psychofysical methods and analyse psychophysical data
- The student understands neuronal models and the concepts of receptive fields and movement fields
- The student understands the principles, advantages and limitations of the most important methods in modern Neuroscience and can identify the best technique(s) to study a given neurophysiological problem.

- Participation in the Werkcolleges, Computerpractica, Practica, en Demonstrations is obligatory.
- Students can earn a maximum full bonus point for the werkcollege exercises and computer practicum assignments.
- A positive score ('voldoende') for these activities is a prerequisite to be allowed access at the written exam.
- In the case of not being able to attend one or more practical courses/lab days due to corona measures, the course coordinator will decide if the student is obligated to re-take the missed meeting and how this will take place.
- Contact: prof. dr. A.J. van Opstal, 3614251, j.vanopstal@science.ru.nl
- The maximum number of students for this course is 40. Enrolment is based on date and time of enrolment and will happen automatically. ('first come first serve')
