In this lesson, you will learn about different approaches to modeling learning in neural networks, particularly focusing on system parameters such as firing rates and synaptic weights impact a network. 

This lesson describes spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, and how one can implement or mimic this process in a computational model. You will also find links for practical exercises at the bottom of this page. 

In this lesson, you will learn more about some of the issues inherent in modeling neural spikes, approaches to ameliorate these problems, and the pros and cons of these approaches. 

 In this lesson, you will learn about some of the many methods to train spiking neural networks (SNNs) with either no attempt to use gradients, or only use gradients in a limited or constrained way. 

In this lesson, you will learn how to train spiking neural networks (SNNs) with a surrogate gradient method. 

As the previous lesson of this course described how researchers acquire neural data, this lesson will discuss how to go about interpreting and analysing the data. 

In this lesson you will learn about the motivation behind manipulating neural activity, and what forms that may take in various experimental designs. 

In this lesson, you will learn about one particular aspect of decision making: reaction times. In other words, how long does it take to take a decision based on a stream of information arriving continuously over time?

In this lesson, you will hear about some of the open issues in the field of neuroscience, as well as a discussion about whether neuroscience works, and how can we know?

This lesson discusses a gripping neuroscientific question: why have neurons developed the discrete action potential, or spike, as a principle method of communication? 

This lesson provides an introduction to modeling single neurons, as well as stability analysis of neural models.

This lesson continues a thorough description of the concepts, theories, and methods involved in the modeling of single neurons. 

In this lesson you will learn about fundamental neural phenomena such as oscillations and bursting, and the effects these have on cortical networks. 

This lesson continues discussing properties of neural oscillations and networks. 

In this lecture, you will learn about rules governing coupled oscillators, neural synchrony in networks, and theoretical assumptions underlying current understanding.

This lesson provides a continued discussion and characterization of coupled oscillators. 

This lesson gives an overview of modeling neurons based on firing rate. 

This lesson characterizes the pattern generation observed in visual system hallucinations.

This lesson gives an introduction to stability analysis of neural models.

This lesson continues from the previous lectures, providing introduction to stability analysis of neural models.
