Computational Neuroscience - A First Course provides an essential introduction to computational neuroscience and equips readers with a fundamental understanding of modeling the nervous system at the membrane, cellular, and network level. The book, which grew out of a lecture series held regularly for more than ten years to graduate students in neuroscience with backgrounds in biology, psychology and medicine, takes its readers on a journey through three fundamental domains of computational neuroscience: membrane biophysics, systems theory and artificial neural networks. The required mathematical concepts are kept as intuitive and simple as possible throughout the book, making it fully accessible to readers who are less familiar with mathematics. Overall, Computational Neuroscience - A First Course represents an essential reference guide for all neuroscientists who use computational methods in their daily work, as well as for any theoretical scientist approaching the field of computational neuroscience.

Sehen ist die Ermittlung von Informationen aus Bildern. Welche Informationsquellen dabei genutzt werden und wie die Auswertung im Einzelnen vorgenommen werden kann, ist Gegenstand dieses einfuhrenden Lehrbuches. Es behandelt die sogenannte Kompetenztheorie des Sehens fur die elementaren Wahrnehmungen, wie Kontrast, Farbe, Tiefe und Bewegung. Als visuell gesteuerte Verhaltensleistungen werden Augenbewegungen und die Navigation behandelt. Technisches Sehen (Computer vision) und die Wahrnehmungsmechanismen des Menschen werden wo immer moglich gemeinsam und vergleichend dargestellt. Die verwendeten mathematischen Verfahren werden im Text eingefuhrt und erlautert; ein Glossar wesentlicher Begriffe erleichtert das Verstandnis."
