2. EXPERIMENTAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY: THEORY AND PRACTICE

Aim course
In this course, the participants will get familiar with a wide range of tools to analyse electrophysiological data, ranging from single-channels in individual neurons to human EEG. Emphasis will be on analysis, rather than acquisition, and it is assumed that the participants have at least some experience in electrophysiology. Demonstrations of acquisition will be available.

Contents of the course
Introduction in signal analysis, (bio)physical and statistical principles.
Acquisition and analysis of oscillatory activity of neuronal networks (in slices as well as human EEG) in relation to single cell activity and synaptic transmission.
Acquisition and analysis of in vivo patch-clamp data.
Acquisition and analysis of extracellular field potentials.
Acquisition and analysis of in vivo multi-electrode data using tetrodes and 16-channel probes.
