神经科学Matlab教程:Matlab科学计算导论

内容简介

《神经科学Matlab教程:Matlab科学计算导论(导读版)》作为科学计算的数学软件,MATLAB被广泛应用于几乎所有的神经科学和认知心理学实验室。《神经科学Matlab教程:Matlab科学计算导论(导读版)》专为神经科学及相关领域的学生和研究者编写,介绍了MATLAB的基础原理和基本程序设计,可以作为神经科学和心理学领域使用MAnAB的初次综合学习手册及教学资源。读者可以学习刺激产生、实验控制、数据收集、数据分析和建模等内容的经验性知识和实验过程,即多种计算问题都能在单一的程序环境下解决。本书作者教学经验颇丰,其中两位获得令人梦寐以求的芝加哥大学布斯奖。作者并非将MATLAB单纯视为程序设计语言,而是将其作为解决神经科学实际问题的工具。他们希望帮助初学者熟悉MATLAB神经科学程序,缩短本科阶段所学内容与现阶段研究之间的差距,不论是初学者、高年级本科生还是研究生新生,本书都力图指导读者能够自行设计和实施分析工具,协助研究者和学生们达到神经科学实践者所需的流畅计算能力。
