This course is based on classical and modern works, which model and analyze several features of neuronal systems operation. In particular, two aspects of information representation by impulse neuronal activity are considered: (1) pulse-frequency code and (2) cooperative effects of synchronized vs. desynchronized impulse activity of single neurons in homogenous neural populations. Role of different cyclic neural processes in these phenomena will be also described. The course includes a review of the recent (post-“Neuromagnetics (Hopfield, 1982, 1984, Marr, 1971)”) works of J.J. Hopfield and related works of earlier times.
The texts of the most original literature sources might be available to the school attendees.
Language of the course - English.
