The app enables the rapid construction, parametrization, and instrumentation of neuronal network models. 19 19 20 -NEST Desktop is a web-based GUI application for NEST Simulator, an advanced simulation tool for the computational neuroscience. The app comprises graphical elements for creating and configuring network models, running simulations, as well as for visualizing and analyzing the results. NEST Desktop allows students to explore important concepts in computational neuroscience without the need to learn a simulator control language before. 21 21 22 -Our experiences so far highlight that NEST Desktop helps advancing both quality and intensity of teaching in computational neuroscience in regular university courses. We view the availability of the tool on public resources like the European ICT infrastructure for neuroscience EBRAINS as a contribution to equal opportunities. 23 - 24 24 == Useful links == 25 25 26 26 * Offical page: [[NEST Desktop>>url:https://nest-desktop.github.io/]]
