Teaching

M. Desroches

• M1 course on “Mathematical and Computational Neuroscience” as part of the Master program in Bioinformatics (BIM) of the University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC, Paris)

  This teaching has been organised over a five-week period (January-February 2014) with a total of 30 hours, including lectures, example classes and computer labs (2 hours per week each). This first half of the course was focused on an introduction to mathematical slow-fast models of spiking and bursting neurons using bifurcation theory, slow-fast dissection and numerical analysis (simulation and continuation) with the software package xppaut .
