'With admirable zeal, Bielza and Larrañaga have digested and summarized an entire field, the machine learning methods in computational neuroscience. The critical importance of computational tools to analyze neural data and decipher the neural code has been emphasized by the US and international BRAIN Initiatives and this book provides a sure and solid step in this direction.'
