Course description
This course introduces MATLAB as a tool to solve basic neuroscience problems involving signal analysis, plotting and statistics. This course also teaches how to do troubleshooting, debugging, and use specific external toolboxes. The student must have a laptop with an installation of MATLAB (https://students.uu.nl/en/free-software) and must have prior knowledge of programming or have followed the Introduction to Programming using Matlab course.
Note: The default toolboxes are sufficient, but you may also add the Bioinformatics, Curve Fitting, Global Optimization and Wavelet toolboxes.
Literature/study material used:
All course related information including slides, exercises and assignments will be made available in Blackboard.
Course Design:
8 Sessions on Mondays and/or Fridays from 9.00 – 12.00 (locations to be announced).
