Learning objectives

In this tutorial, you will learn about the different options in PyNN for recording data from simulations, for breaking down simulation experiments into different phases, and for working with the recorded data.

Audience

This tutorial is intended for people with at least a basic knowledge of neuroscience (high school level or above) and basic familiarity with the Python programming language. It should also be helpful for people who already have advanced knowledge of neuroscience and neural simulation, who simply wish to learn how to use PyNN, and how it differs from other simulation tools they know.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you should have already followed the previous tutorials on installing PyNN and on building simple models and running simulations with PyNN.

Format

This tutorial will be a video combining slides, animations, and screencast elements. The intended duration is 10 minutes.
