Estimation and analysis of stochastic biophysical neural models
A major goal is to establish closer links between the spike
train coding properties of neurons and the underlying biophysical
computations performed "below the threshold" and in the dendrites.
Recent advances in voltage- and calcium-sensitive imaging methods have
brought this goal closer to reality.
