| Abstract Title: | Interdisciplinary computational modeling of biophysical processes |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Cross-disciplinary courses are rewarding and lead to a more robust and effective integration of knowledge. We developed and implemented an interdisciplinary computational biophysics/neuroscience class targeting biology and psychology-oriented students and physics, mathematics, and computer science-oriented minds. The cross-listed BIOL 396/ PHYS 396 Biophysical Modeling of Excitable Cells class aims to design and calibrate biologically realistic computational models for (neural) cells and biological neural networks. The emphasis is on mathematical and computational modeling of biological and psychological experiments. As such, the class prerequisites are both biology and physics. |
