Pedagogical Approach
Collaborative Questions are always welcome Discussion is encouraged! Scribe to record unanswered questions
Problem-oriented How to model cardiac action potentials Efficiently simulating models
Workshop Information>Pedagogical Approach
Pedagogical Approach
Interdisciplinary team oriented At least 1 chemistry/biology expert At least 1 computer science expert At least 1 math expert
Workshop Information>Pedagogical Approach
Learning Objectives
Learn how electrical potentials are generated in cells
Learn some techniques for modeling electrical activity
Learn to function on interdisciplinary teams
Investigate some research problems Meet new people and have some fun!
Workshop Information>Pedagogical Approach
Specific Learning Objectives Understand cardiac cells as an example of an
excitable system Learn various models of electrical activity in cardiac
cells Learn some basic analytic techniques for analysing
the models Learn to use the CUDA architecture with NVIDIA
graphics cards to program models on multi-processing systems
Investigate the development of spiral waves in cardiac tissue using Fenton’s minimal model in the CUDA-based architecture
