GENESIS Neural Simulator
general-purpose neural simulator
GENESIS is a general purpose simulation platform which was developed to
support the simulation of neural systems ranging from complex models of
single neurons to simulations of large networks made up of more abstract
neuronal components.
GENESIS has provided the basis for laboratory courses in neural simulation
at both Caltech and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.
Most current GENESIS applications involve realistic simulations of
biological neural systems. Although the software can also model more
abstract networks, other simulators are more suitable for backpropagation
and similar connectionist modeling.
