Simulated Neuronal Activity

Computational Neuroscience

This is an ongoing, possibly Sisyphus, project in which I am writing iPython notebooks of mathematical models in Neuroscience. These notebooks are interactive webpages to illustrate and hopefully demystify the different mathematical models and also might be an aid to someone learning Python.

Over the past few years I have worked with undergradute final year maths students to program up some of my favorite papers such as:

  • The Izekivich model to simulate neuronal behaviour (Izekivich 2005);

  • The Neural Mass Model (also known as Dynamic Causal Modelling) to simulate EEG;

  • Models of decision making Notebooks.
