+This repository contains the reference implementation of the model proposed in Schellenberger Costa and Weigenand et al. 2016, available here http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005022
+
+For convenience we utilize MATLAB for data processing and plotting. Therefore the simulation comes with an additional source-file Thalamus_mex.cpp that can be compiled within MATLAB to utilize their C++-mex interface.
+
+The easiest way to reproduce the figures in the paper is to simply run the Create_Data() function in the "Figures" folder within MATLAB, assuming the mex interface is set up. Afterwards simply run the respective plot functions for the different figures.
+
+Please note that due to the stochastic nature of the simulation the time series will differ.
