NeuroMatch Academy (NMA) Computational Neuroscience syllabus

⚠️ This repository is under construction for the 2021 edition of the course ⚠️
See the NMA website for links to archival materials from the 2020 edition

Objectives: Introduce traditional and emerging computational neuroscience tools, their complementarity, and what they can tell us about the brain. A main focus is on modeling choices, model creation, model evaluation and understanding how they relate to biological questions.

Day structure: Opening keynote, 3h15min lecture/live Q&A/tutorial modules, 40min group discussion, 55min interpretation lecture (Outro) + several live Q&As (what did we learn today, what does it mean, underlying philosophy). There will also be many networking activities (professional development sessions, yoga, social hangouts etc)! Details below.

Note for visitors from China: This repository contains many links to YouTube and Google Colab. We have a version of the repository with those same videos posted on bilibili, and the Google Colab links replaced with links to Aliyun. Please visit the China Accessible Neuromatch Course-Content
