Linear System Analysis

Aim

This course teaches the basic concepts of linear systems analysis, applied to neurosciences. The main topics are: differential equations, Fourier analysis, Laplace analysis, filtering, and feedback. Examples that are used will stem from neuro-physiology and psychophysics, but also from the daily routine of measuring and analyzing experimental data.
Our main goal is to help students without an extensive mathematical background overcome a fear for a quantitative approach of problems, and to show more theoretically oriented students the applications of systems analysis in biological control systems. We will make an effort to keep the course material in relation to daily experimental problems.
