Projects

The project ideas are described near the bottom of the Main Page. (To get the Main Page, click on the image of the fish at left.) Here are some relevant papers.

• Project 1: Hodgkin & Huxley without a voltage clamp. Here is one of the original Hodgkin-Huxley papers: Click here.

• Project 2: Detecting ionic currents. Here is a recent paper that attempts to do the same thing with another method: Click here. Here is a paper with a model that has many currents: Click here.

• Project 3: The chaotic ghostburster: Here is the original (and recent) ghostbursting paper: Click here.
