Aim: Properties of formal and biologically inspired models for neuron and neural network functionality and possibilities for electronis realization.
Contents: Fundamental and advanced key issues of time-continous and discrete neuron models and neural networks which are derived from neurophysiological investigations mainly of the retina, cochlea, and visual cortex of mammals. Underlying biological principles and exemplary electronic realisations are discussed and compared in detail. The course is complemented by a set of exercises using computer simulatons.
