Features

• Simulation of neural network dynamics using delay differential equations
• Visualization tools for network activity

Installation

You can install the package directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/im-vishalverma/EI-Spiking-Neural-Network-with-Delay.git

Usage

Here is a simple example of how to use the toolbox:

from code import snn_with_delays

num_neurons = 100
average_degree = 10
delay = 5
inh_fraction = 0.2
stimulated_neurons = 10
value = 0.07
num_sim = 1000
plot = 1

voltages, spikes = snn_with_delays.neural_network(
    num_neurons, average_degree, delay, inh_fraction, stimulated_neurons, value, num_sim, plot
)

Visualizations

Example output from the toolbox for 1000 neurons:

Degree Distribution

Network Activity

Spike Train
