Keywords: Neurosciences - Simulation - Health

Functional Description

The NeuralFieldSimulator computes numerically activity in two-dimensional neural fields by solving integral-differential equations involving transmission delays and visualizes the spatio-temporal activity. The tool includes a GUI that allows the user to choose field parameters. It is written in Python, open-source and is aimed to be promoted to become a major graphical visualization tool in the domain of neural field theory. We aim to establish this simulation software as the first open-source standard simulator for the neural field research community.
