NeuroTools

NeuroTools is a collection of tools to support all tasks associated with a neural simulation project which are not handled by the simulation engine.

Purpose
  • The signals module provides core functionality that allows manipulation of and calculations with spike trains and analog signals.
  • The spike2 module offers an easy way for reading data from CED's Spike2 Son files into the NeuroTools enviroment.
  • The parameters module contains classes to make managing large, hierarchical parameter sets easier.
  • The analysis module contains miscellaneous analysis functions.
  • The stgen module contains various stochastic process generators relevant for Neuroscience (OU, poisson, inhomogenous gamma, ...).
  • The utilities sub-package contains srblib, an easy-to-use interface for interacting with SRB servers.
  • The io module is the gateway for all reading/writing of files, in different formats, in NeuroTools.
  • The plotting module contains a collection of tools for plotting and image processing, based on Matplotlib and the Python Imaging Library.
  • The datastore resents a consistent interface for persistent data storage (e.g., for caching intermediate results), irrespective of storage back-end.
