Spiking neural network simulator: User’s Guide
نویسنده
چکیده
In its current state, the simulator provides all the above. It is intended as a research tool for investigating spiking neural systems, and particularly their use in spike based auditory processing. The basic mode of operation is very simple: once the network has been set up and the input files determined, the network is simulated using a fixed time-step for a predetermined length of time. The user can then choose to save spikes etc., or to alter the display, or to try out a different set of inputs or synapses, and run the system again.

Distributed, Event Driven Simulation of Spiking Neural Networks
We present the architecture of a simulator that is able to simulate large networks of spiking neurons using a distributed event driven simulation. Contrary to a time driven simulation, which is usually used to simulate spiking neural networks, our simulation needs less computational resources because of the low average activity of typical networks. The simulator is divided into a set of communi...
متن کاملHumanoid Robot Control Using Spiking Neural Networks
In recent years there has been an increasing amount of interest in spiking neural networks, which are more biologically realistic than rate based models. Whilst a lot of simulation work has been carried out on spiking neural networks, relatively little research has been done on the use of spiking neural networks to control robots in an environment. The main obstacle to the development of embodi...

This paper presents a spiking neural network simulator suitable for biologically plausible large neural networks, named DAMNED for “Distributed And Multi-threaded Neural Event-Driven”. The simulator is designed to run efficiently on a variety of hardware. DAMNED makes use of multi-threaded programming and non-blocking communications in order to optimize communications and computations overlap. ...
متن کاملBrainlab: A Python Toolkit to Aid in the Design, Simulation, and Analysis of Spiking Neural Networks with the NeoCortical Simulator
Neuroscience modeling experiments often involve multiple complex neural network and cell model variants, complex input stimuli and input protocols, followed by complex data analysis. Coordinating all this complexity becomes a central difficulty for the experimenter. The Python programming language, along with its extensive library packages, has emerged as a leading "glue" tool for managing all ...
متن کاملVectorized Algorithms for Spiking Neural Network Simulation
High-level languages (Matlab, Python) are popular in neuroscience because they are flexible and accelerate development. However, for simulating spiking neural networks, the cost of interpretation is a bottleneck. We describe a set of algorithms to simulate large spiking neural networks efficiently with high-level languages using vector-based operations. These algorithms constitute the core of B...
