+\section{Quantifying the responsiveness of a neuron by its F-I curves}
+The responsiveness of a neuron is often quantified using an F-I
+curve. The F-I curve plots the \textbf{F}iring rate of the neuron as a
+function of the stimulus \textbf{I}ntensity.
+
+\begin{questions}
+  \question In the accompanying datasets you find the
+  \textit{spike\_times} of an P-unit electroreceptor of the weakly
+  electric fish \textit{Apteronotus leptorhynchus} to a stimulus of a
+  certain intensity, i.e. the \textit{contrast}. The spike times are
+  given in milliseconds relative to the stimulus onset.
+  \begin{parts}
+    \part For each stimulus intensity estimate the average response
+    (PSTH) and plot it. You will see that there are three parts.  (i)
+    The first 200\,ms is the baseline (no stimulus) activity. (ii)
+    During the next 1000\,ms the stimulus was switched on. (iii) After
+    stimulus offset the neuronal activity was recorded for further
+    825\,ms.
+
+    \part Extract the neuron's activity for every 50\,ms after
+    stimulus onset and for one 50\,ms slice before stimulus onset.
+
+    For each time slice plot the resulting F-I curve by plotting the
+    computed firing rates against the corresponding stimulus
+    intensity, respectively the contrast.
+
+    \part Fit a Boltzmann function to each of the F-I-curves. The
+    Boltzmann function is a sigmoidal function and is defined as
+    \begin{equation}
+       f(x) = \frac{\alpha-\beta}{1+e^{-k(x-x_0)}}+\beta \; .
+    \end{equation}
+    $x$ is the stimulus intensity, $\alpha$ is the starting
+    firing rate, $\beta$ the saturation firing rate, $x_0$ defines the
+    position of the sigmoid, and $k$ (together with $\alpha-\beta$)
+    sets the slope.
+
+    Before you do the fitting, familiarize yourself with the four
+    parameter of the Boltzmann function. What is its value for very
+    large or very small stimulus intensities? How does the Boltzmann
+    function change if you change either of the parameter?
+
+    How could you get good initial estimates for the parameter?
+
+    Do the fits and show the resulting Boltzmann functions together
+    with the corresponding data.
+
+    \part Illustrate how the F-I curves change in time also by means
+    of the parameter you obtained from the fits with the Boltzmann
+    function. 
+
+    Which parameter stay the same, which ones change with time?
+
+    Support your conclusion with appropriate statistical tests.
+
+    \part Discuss you results with respect to encoding of different
+    stimulus intensities.

-\section*{Quantifying the responsiveness of a neuron using the F-I curve.}
-The responsiveness of a neuron is often quantified using an F-I
-curve. The F-I curve plots the \textbf{F}iring rate of the neuron as a function
-of the stimulus \textbf{I}ntensity.
-
-\begin{questions}
-  \question In the accompanying datasets you find the
-  \textit{spike\_times} of an P-unit electrorecptor of the weakly
-  electric fish \textit{Apteronotus leptorhynchus} to a stimulus of a
-  certain intensity, i.e. the \textit{contrast}. The contrast is also
-  part of the file name itself.
-  \begin{parts}
-    \part Estimate for each stimulus intensity the average response 
-    (PSTH) and plot it. You will see that there are three parts.  (i)
-    The first 200 ms is the baseline (no stimulus) activity. (ii) During
-    the next 1000 ms the stimulus was switched on. (iii) After stimulus
-    offset the neuronal activity was recorded for further 825 ms.
-    \part Extract the neuron's activity in the last 200 ms before
-    stimulus offset and plot it against the stimulus intensity or the
-    contrast, respectively.
-    \part Fit a Boltzmann function to the FI-curve. The Boltzmann function
-    is defined as:
-    \begin{equation}
-       y=\frac{\alpha-\beta}{1+e^{(x-x_0)/\Delta x}}+\beta,
-    \end{equation}
-    where $\alpha$ is the starting firing rate, $\beta$ the saturation
-    firing rate, $x$ the current stimulus intensity, $x_0$ starting
-    stimulus intensity, and $\Delta x$ a measure of the slope.
-  \end{parts}

+\subsection{Non-linear fits}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Example that illustrates the Nebenminima Problem (with error surface)
+\item You need got initial values for the parameter!
+\item Example that fitting gets harder the more parameter yuo have.
+\item Try to fix as many parameter before doing the fit.
+\item How to test the quality of a fit? Residuals. $\Chi^2$ test. Run-test.
