nsync - event based neural network simulator for pulse coupled neurons

This package implements a JavaScript based simulator for pulse coupled neural networks with delay as introduced in:

U. Ernst, K. Pawelzik, and T. Geisel. Synchronization induced by temporal delays in pulse-coupled oscillators. Phys. Rev. Lett., 74, 1995. http://www.nld.ds.mpg.de/downloads/publications/p1570_1.pdf

The algorithm is based on the concept of numerically exact integration as presented in:

Rotter S and Diesmann M. Exact Digital Simulation of Time-Invariant Linear Systems with Applications to Neuronal Modeling. Biological Cybernetics 81:381-402 (1999) http://www.springerlink.com/content/08legf57tjkc6nj0 (no publically available version)

Includes some basic visualization and the ability to interactively perturb individual neurons.

Batch simulations

This package can also be run from the command line for batch simulation. See the examples/node directory for details. The command line mode requires node.js.
