Computational Neuroscience in Python
- gmatthewson 12y agoYes yes yes, thank you!
- vog 12y agoIn the README, some quick explaination for non-neuroscienctists would be helpful to understand the impact of this project.
- julienchastang 12y agoI have not studied this in detail, but it seems like this resource could have been presented as a series of IPython Notebooks. IPyNb with its literate programming emphasis is a wonderful pedagogical tool allowing users to interactively experiment with code.
- bgalbraith 12y agoRelated, a few years ago I wrote a series of blog posts with code and discussion on how to do some basic neural simulations in Python: http://www.neurdon.com/author/byron/ http://www.neurdon.com/author/byron/. This includes spiking leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model, and the Izhikevich model neurons.
- mef51 12y agoCool! I'm currently doing summer research modelling neurons and your posts really helped me learn this stuff. I would go through your code line-by-line writing it out and then I'd just play with the parameters. It was a nice starting point. Thanks! https://github.com/mef51/HodgkinHuxleyNeurons https://github.com/mef51/HodgkinHuxleyNeurons
- bgalbraith 12y agoVery nice! I'm glad you found them useful. When I have time, I'll convert them and some unpublished examples into IPython Notebooks.
- Alex_MJ 12y agoThis is awesome! As a non-neuroscientist, the WashU course on Coursera about Computational Neuroscience was also really good. Not sure if there's an upcoming offering, but I'd highly recommend taking it. Keep in mind it's heavy on computation on a "simulate neurons and small networks of neurons" level and light on top-down neuroscience
