What people are saying
idan segev
Whether you are interested in Neurosciences , or you are simply curious about the advances of brain understanding and the soon coming amazing Neurotechnologies I highly recommend this course: Professor Idan Segev has the talent to easily transmit and facilitate the understanding of the Mathematical, electrical, and physiological concepts related to brain neural circuit and brain related high technologies!
Thanks Idan Segev!
kudos to Idan Segev for his astonishing lecturing skills, you have really inspired me to one day join you in the attempt to uncover the mysteries of the brain!
Idan Segev, the professor, is a really good teacher.
Awesome experience after getting synapsed with Dr.Idan Segev's thoughts and amazing lectures.
The Course is Amazing and Professor Idan Segev is Amazing, i want to thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to learn this course and to learn from briliant person such as Idan segev, Best RegardsMax Freeman Excellent learning opportunity.
By the way, Idan Segev is REALLY A GOOD INSTRUCTOR !
I'm looking forward to see more courses from Hebrew University and specifically from Idan Segev.Thank You.
Idan Segev is a great teacher; I look forward to participate in another course lectured by him.
one of the nicest coursera classes I've taken so far Prof. Idan Segev taught the course with an understanding that he will have an audience from a variety of backgrounds and hence the course was balanced between mathematical and biological concepts.
why there is only statement with verification This course is very beautifully organized and Prof. Idan Segev is very good teacher.
Idan Segev is a great teacher, one that I wished to have had in my biology class.
In the future, I am looking forward to new courses about the beauty of the brain and I genuinely hope that Mr. Idan Segev will decide to make other courses such as this one.
Idan Segev is so inspiring and the course is the best way to get you involved with neuroscience.

very interesting
Simply great Very interesting and well done course.
best of the computational neuro courses on coursera Very interesting course.
Very interesting and explaining.
Very interesting class, dynamic presentation makes it a pleasure to follow.
very interesting course with great explanations Absolutely mind-blowing.
Very interesting content.
Very interesting and hard to study course!
very easily explained for all levels Very interesting sir i am very sorry i didn't do even wok because my college timing so disturbing me i kindly say to you my apology and i want your context you always connect to my whatsapp number sir if i have any doubt i say you and my new think and invention even i have to show you It is an amaizing course!
It is a very interesting and well-done course about neurobiology.
A very interesting view into our brain.
This course was easily the most rewarding, exciting, interesting and challenging I've ever experienced.Thank you so very much, Idan!Wishing you and yours health and happiness!Tony This is a very interesting course , and Prof. Segev is an excellent teacher.
This course is very interesting because it is complementary to more general courses about the brain and central nervous system, by really focusing on the neuron and the synapse.
very interesting very didactic sometimes a little too technical very good videos and support Amazing course COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH... KEEP CONTRIBUTING, GOD BLESS YOU.

so much
Amazing course!I have done many MOOCs, definitely one of the top 3.I have also taken several courses in psychology and deep learning and I have a computer science background, interesting to relate these topics to the functioning of the brain and see where some of the inspiration is taken from.Great to see a very ethic lecturer with so much passion for the topic.One advice, the lecturer talks a little slow, so I suggest watching with higher speed 1.5X or above.In the end he said there will be another course I hope there will be, but this course is from 2013 so I'm not sure about that:) This course is very interesting and I personally learn a lot out of this.
Thank you so much,this course became a seed, that will eventually grow into something great and significant for the whole world and humanity in particular.
aside from the lesson about electrical circuits which was a bit difficult for me to follow, the flow of the course was just amazing, i know so much more interesting things about the brain now than i knew before.
I have learned so much from this course and also established my strong interest in neuroscience, Excellent Very good introduction for people who are not in the professional domain of neuroscience.
I have always enjoyed learning about the brain - yet I've never thought I could learn so much through this course.
Hebrew University of Jerusalem gave me the chance to dig deeper in the brain, and I have gained so much about the brain, neurons and synapses through the course.
Thank you so much!
thank you so much !regards,Marjan Amazing professor and very useful material/review The course was particularly important to get an overview of brain functioning.
Thank you so much for this absolutely amazing course!
This course broaden my understanding of brains.I learnt much from it.And the professor used vivid and explicit ways to make me grasp some elusive concepts.It is so much helpful and amazing!!!

professor segev
Professor Segev and his staff did a fabulous job.
Professor Segev is very enthusiastic and the lectures are well developed.
Professor Segev is very enthusiastic about the subject and his lectures are very comprehensible.
The first time Professor Segev came on the screen, he had a t-shirt and wild hair.
Thank you very much, Professor Segev!
Professor Segev's enthusiasm and clarity of thought & expression is what makes this a 5 star rated course even though I would have personally liked to have had more content on determinism, free will and its implications.
The energy of Professor Segev is as astonishing.

computational neuroscience
I had no knowledge about neuroscience and this course showed me the basis of computational neuroscience and some advanced research being done today.
This is an excellent course for people who want to learn the basic neuroscience and get foot in the computational neuroscience.
His enthusiasm regarding the topics he taught was what got me gripped and as a Physics major thinking about a career in biophysics, the biophysical concepts he taught (Hodkin-Huxley model, Rall's model, concepts in computational neuroscience) made me ever more interested in my career choice.Thumbs up to Prof. Segev and his team for a truly inspiring and enjoyable course!
!A must course for those who want to learn Computational Neuroscience.
The course is well organised in the sense that the light dose of maths here never becomes dry and the thought-provoking broad topics never get too sci-fi :-)It certainly will inspire me to dig a bit deeper into this fascinating field of computational neuroscience.

introductory course
A good introductory course all around.
Excellent introductory course - well structured.
Great introductory course that mixes theory and experimental areas of neuroscience.
The reason why I started this course was because the other course "Medical Neuroscience" from Duke University seemed heavy at first, so I wanted to have an introductory course to neuroscience.
fantastic introductory course.
