Objectives (Doelstelling)
The brain is all about communication, between individual neurons as well as between brain areas comprised of billions of neurons. To study brain communication advanced new experimental and mathematical techniques have been developed, which require mathematical sophistication and a neurobiological background to fully comprehend. The goal is to provide the neurobiological background and the mathematical/computational skills necessary to understand current technical publications in the field of Brain networks and neuronal communication.
