Book Description

January 15, 1993 0387940197 978-0387940199
The Book of GENESIS - Exploring Realistic Neural Models with the GEneral NEural SImulation System is the first publication to thoroughly and accurately describe how to use the "GENESIS" simulation/modeling software system available through the Internet file-server at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA., Department of Computation and Neural Systems.
The first part of the book consists of edited contributions from an international team of neural networks researchers working with "GENESIS" which show the reader/user the kind of models/simulations which can be created by using the software. The second part is a step-by-step tutorial for all professionals, researchers and students working in the area of neural networks and the cognitive sciences. The material has been extensively class tested at Cal Tech and Woods Hole Oceanographic Labs, Massachusetts and shows the student/user how to effectively manipulate the software and use the material to one's best advantage.

5.0 out of 5 stars the genesis of good books.., September 26, 2001
By 
This book is a detail guide for people learning to use the GEneral NEural SImulation System, one of the best softwares for computational neuroscience. The presentation is clear enough for everyone, but it would be much helpful if the readers have a basic backgound on neuroscience and programming language C. Useful exercises are provided at the back of most chapters so readers can make practices immediately.

I think this book should be recommended to undergraduates studying neuroscience. There are many books in the field of neural biophysics and modeling. Students usually find it boring and not easy to comprehend. But this book accompanies a simulation software in the CD-ROM, using which students can easily control and visualize the electrical behaviour of a neuron. This provides a chance for interactive education and should become a great help to their studies.
