    This lesson provides an overview of balanced excitatory-inhibitory (E-I) networks, stability, and gain modulation. 

    Topics covered in this lesson
    • Rate models
    • Selectivity
    • Gain modulation
    • Irregular firing and nonlinear gain modulation, loosely balanced networks
    • Going from matrix notation of neurons and inputs to rate models
    • Eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the weight matrix
    • Stability
    • Shur transformation
    Prerequisites
    • Linear algebra (matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors)
    • Some knowledge of dynamical complex systems theory
