Introduction to NEST: Simulating a single neuron
Level: beginner Type: video tutorial
This tutorial will guide you through the simulation of one neuron in NEST.
Introduction to PyNEST – Populations of neurons
Level: beginner Type: user documentation
When you have worked through this material, you will know how to:
create populations of neurons with specific parameters; set model parameters before creation; define models with customised parameters; randomise parameters after creation; make random connections between populations; set up devices to start, stop and save data to file and reset simulations
Introduction to PyNEST – Neurons and simple neural networks
Level: beginner Type: user documentation
When you have worked through this material, you will know how to:
start PyNEST, create neurons and stimulation or recording devices, query and set their parameters, connect them to each other or to devices, simulate the network and extract the data from recording devices.
