Neuromatch Academy: a 3-week, online summer school in computational neuroscience

Neuromatch Academy (https://academy.neuromatch.io; (van Viegen et al., 2021)) was as an online summer school to cover the basics of computational neuroscience three weeks. The materials cover dominant and emerging computational neuroscience , how they complement one another, and specifically focus on how they can help us better understand how the brain functions. An original component of the materials is focus on modeling choices, i.e. how do we choose the right approach, how do we build , and how can we evaluate models to determine if they provide real (meaningful) . This meta-modeling component of the instructional materials asks what questions be answered by different techniques, and how to apply them meaningfully to get about brain function.
