Nikitas course packs an incredible amount of practical information. Most would charge for such insights, but he generously shares his expertise.

After this, I'm eagerly diving into the Surface Modeling - Helmet course. Nikita's teachings, both here and on YouTube, are invaluable for anyone looking to master Plasticity.

The YouTube tutorials and the Plasticity course have been phenomenal. I'm impressed by the quality of content and the insightful techniques. The mentorship and community are invaluable.

This Plasticity free course is an absolute gem, and I highly recommend it for anyone beginning their journey. It's an exceptional introduction that seamlessly transitions into the premium content. I'm looking forward to enrolling in a premium course soon to further enhance my skills.

I wasn't sure where to begin with Plasticity until I found Nikita Kapustin's course. His free tutorials were a goldmine of information, making complex 3D modeling techniques approachable.

I picked up this course out of pure desire to learn, and it didn't disappoint. The modeling course completely satisfied my curiosity and opened my eyes to a fresh perspective on product modeling with Plasticity - no bounds, just vast possibilities.

This Plasticity course is for aspiring 3D designers. Covering basics and guiding you to model a detailed Apple Watch Ultra, it offers over 6 hours of insightful content. It sets you on your journey to unlock creativity, bringing your 3D visions to life.

Learn & understand the basics of advanced techniques like lofting and working with surfaces to take your models to the next level. Equip yourself with the skills needed to tackle more complex design projects.

17 exclusive lessons are devoted entirely to mastering the Apple Watch Ultra modeling. This in-depth focus ensures a thorough understanding and detailed execution of this complex 3D model, truly bringing your skills to life.

The course covers plasticity theories that are widely used to analyse practical engineering applications in metals. Mathematical formulations and equations are intentionally kept to a minimum. Emphasis will be placed on how engineering design incorporates these theories and how the FE method models plasticity. Difficulties encountered by both the FE user and the FE software in modelling plasticity will be highlighted using many examples to demonstrate plastic behaviour and how to assess the accuracy of the FE solutions.

You can attend the sessions live, and/or stream on demand. When you register you will get access to a dedicated course forum where you can contact the tutor with questions, submit homework, download pdfs of course notes and access all session recordings. To get the most out of the course, participation in forum discussions is encouraged.

Several mechanisms have been proposed that control the amount of plasticity in neuronal circuits and guarantee dynamic stability of neuronal networks. Homeostatic plasticity suggests that the ease with which a synaptic connection is facilitated/suppressed depends on the previous amount of network activity. We describe how such homeostatic-like interactions depend on the time interval between two conditioning protocols and on the duration of the preconditioning protocol. We used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to produce short-lasting plasticity in the motor cortex of healthy humans. In the main experiment, we compared the aftereffect of a single 5-min session of anodal or cathodal tDCS with the effect of a 5-min tDCS session preceded by an identical 5-min conditioning session administered 30, 3, or 0 min beforehand. Five-minute anodal tDCS increases excitability for about 5 min. The same duration of cathodal tDCS reduces excitability. Increasing the duration of tDCS to 10 min prolongs the duration of the effects. If two 5-min periods of tDCS are applied with a 30-min break between them, the effect of the second period of tDCS is identical to that of 5-min stimulation alone. If the break is only 3 min, then the second session has the opposite effect to 5-min tDCS given alone. Control experiments show that these shifts in the direction of plasticity evolve during the 10 min after the first tDCS session and depend on the duration of the first tDCS but not on intracortical inhibition and facilitation. The results are compatible with a time-dependent "homeostatic-like" rule governing the response of the human motor cortex to plasticity probing protocols.

Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field that is making great advances in understanding behavior and cognitive functions, as well as advancing treatments for psychiatric, neurodegenerative and neurological disorders. It encompasses a broad domain that ranges from molecular genetics and neural development, to brain processes involved in cognition and emotion, to mechanisms and consequences of neurodegenerative disease. The field of neuroscience also includes mathematical and physical principles involved in modeling neural systems and in brain imaging.

The Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity, offered by the Neuroscience Program within the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, is designed to teach students to explore neural and brain function at multiple levels. The curriculum is customizable and flexible to ensure students get a well-rounded academic experience to prepare for graduate school, professional school (e.g., medical school, occupational therapy school, etc.), and entering the workforce.

The degree includes 52-54 required credits: 25 credits in Neuroscience, 6-8 credits in electives on neuroscience topics from a variety of participating departments, and 21 credits of co-requisite courses in Biology, Chemistry and Psychology. Students majoring in Neuroscience are strongly encouraged to participate in hands-on research by taking Independent Study courses as part of their elective credits for the major. Independent Study opportunities are offered in many of the laboratories of the more than 130 neuroscientist faculty members within the various colleges and schools participating in Temple University's Neuroscience Program.

Because of overlap in coursework, students pursuing the BS in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity cannot complete the Cognitive Neuroscience minor offered by the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.

Majors in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity have the opportunity to be awarded departmental distinction upon graduation. Graduating with distinction can be achieved by maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or better in all neuroscience courses, completing two semesters of Independent Study in Neuroscience (NSCI 4182 and NSCI 4282) with an A- or better, and successfully completing a neuroscience research project based on the independent study work and described in a research paper and poster presented to Neuroscience Program faculty and students. Learn more about graduating with distinction.

The accelerated +1 Bachelor of Science / Master of Science in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity program offers outstanding Temple University Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity majors the opportunity to earn both the BS and MS in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity in just 5 years. Admission to the program is highly selective. The program is designed to provide a research-intensive experience, advanced coursework and professional development to students who intend to pursue doctoral studies in any of the academic Neuroscience disciplines.

The accelerated +1 program consists of a maximum of 113 semester hours of undergraduate coursework, a maximum of 10 semester hours of graduate coursework to count towards both the undergraduate and the graduate degrees, and an additional 20 semester hours of graduate coursework as a graduate student. Upon successful completion of the fourth year, students will receive a BS in Neuroscience: Systems, Behavior and Plasticity, using 10 credits of graduate coursework, if they have met all other degree requirements.
