Neuronal Dynamics: Python Exercises¶
This repository contains python exercises accompanying the book `Neuronal Dynamics <http://neuronaldynamics.epfl.ch/>`__ by Wulfram Gerstner, Werner M. Kistler, Richard Naud and Liam Paninski. References to relevant chapters will be added in the Teaching Materials section of the book homepage.
Most exercises rely on the python based Brian neural network simulator.
Installation¶
Each exercise is described in its own folder by a PDF file. The exercises are intended to be solved using the provided python classes. To run the code contained in each folder, the following requirements should be met:
- Tested on Python 2.7 and 3.4
- Brian2 Simulator
- Numpy
- Matplotlib
- Scipy [only required in some exercises]
You can also install all requirements by running
