This open access volume compiles student reports from the 2023 Simula Summer School in
Computational Physiology. The reports provide an overview of some tools available to model
physiology in excitable tissues across scales and scientific questions. In 2023 Simula held
the nineth annual Summer School in Computational Physiology in collaboration with the
University of Oslo (UiO) and the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Each year the
course focuses on modeling excitable tissues with a special interest in cardiac physiology and
neuroscience. Group research projects conducted by graduate students from around the world
result in reports addressing problems of physiological importance. Reports may not necessarily
represent new scientific results rather they can reproduce or supplement earlier studies.
Reports from seven of the summer projects are included as separate chapters. The topics
represented include multiscale mechanics electrophysiology pharmacology and machine
learning. This is an open access book.
