R for Computational Neuroscience?

Hi all,

I've noticed that many computational neuroscience research groups use
MATLAB. While it's possible that MATLAB may have some features
unavailable in R, I suspect that this may instead simply be a case of
costly tradition, where researchers were taught MATLAB as students and
pay for it as researchers because it's all they know.

I'd like to attempt to break the cycle by offering colleagues
resources on using R for computational neuroscience, but I haven't
been able to find anything (searched the task view, r-seek, & google).

Can anyone direct me to resources on using R for computational
neuroscience? Input on my possibly naive assumption that R is a
sufficient tool for this field would also be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike
