In a 120-minute written exam the participants will have to program MATLAB-scripts for a selection of neuroscientific data-analysis problems, demonstrating their skills in the different topics. The scripts and comments will be written on university-provided laptops and handed in via email or USB-drive.

Students need to hand in 1-2 programming tasks in the exercises to be allowed to take part in the exam.

Required active participation for gaining credits:
script for the presentation of experimental stimuli in part 5
attendance of at least 70% in the seminar 'computer-controlled experimentation', part 5 within one semester (will be checked in StudIP).
Kompetenzziele
