neural_data_simulator

Neural Data Simulator core package.

The neural data simulator, or NDS, aims to create a system that can generate spiking data from behavioral data (e.g. cursor movement, arm kinematics, etc) in real-time.

The structure of this package is as follows:

• neural_data_simulator.core contains the core NDS implementation,

  including the encoder (also known as a simulator or generator).

• neural_data_simulator.decoder implements decoders that can decode behavioral variables from neural activity.

• neural_data_simulator.tasks implements tasks that can be used with the encoder.

• neural_data_simulator.recorder implements an extension to write data to file.

• neural_data_simulator.streamer implements an extension to stream data from file.

• neural_data_simulator.util contains various data structures and utility functions that are used throughout NDS.

• neural_data_simulator.scripts hosts many of the entry points for the scripts that are exposed to the user.

• neural_data_simulator.plugins includes additional plugins for NDS.
