Description
Understanding Neural Circuits Made Simple with Python This textbook provides an introduction to the mathematical and computational modeling of neurons and networks of neurons. It covers the biophysics of single neurons, neural coding, learning, and the relationship between biological and artificial neural networks. The author builds a foundation for modeling neural circuits through examples using real neural data, demonstrating how computational models can be used to understand phenomena observed in neural recordings. The book is designed for a one-semester course and includes Python code and a mathematical appendix reviewing the requisite background in calculus, linear algebra, and probability. Ideal for engineering, science, and mathematics majors, as well as those self-studying, this accessible undergraduate textbook offers an example-rich and student-friendly approach to building a foundation in neural circuit modeling.
