Spikeling allows to learn about neurophysiology from many angles, it is easy to see how different neuronal subtypes encode stimulus input information. #Neuroscience #Education #Teaching #InformationTheory

🧠 Such a powerful (and surprisingly easy!) way for students to explore neuroscience. Watching neurons respond to different stimuli in real time makes learning so much more intuitive.
