Simulating peripheral tactile responses from the sole of the foot.
The footsim package requires Python 3.6 or higher to run. It also requires numpy, scipy, skikit-image, numba, and matplotlib. Additionally, holoviews is required to use the simulation's inbuilt plotting functions.
If using conda for package management, the following command creates a new environment fs with all dependencies installed:
conda env create -f environment.yml
To install the package via a symlink to the git directory, use python setup.py develop.
Examples of how to use the model and its plotting functions are contained in an iPython notebook, see Tutorial.ipynb. Examples of further applications of the model can be found at https://github.com/LClel/FootSim_insole_demonstration.
