Spiking Neuron Models
Spiking Neuron Models

$92.99
USDThis introduction to spiking neurons can be used in advanced-level courses in computational neuroscience, theoretical biology, neural modeling, biophysics, or neural networks. It focuses on phenomenological approaches rather than detailed models in order to provide the reader with a conceptual framework. The authors formulate the theoretical concepts clearly without many mathematical details. While the book contains standard material for courses in computational neuroscience, neural modeling, or neural networks, it also provides an entry to current research. No prior knowledge beyond undergraduate mathematics is required.
- Modern approach takes the student to current research
- No unnecessary advanced mathematics, so suited for a broad audience
- Lots of illustrations and examples
