Modelling Populations: MIIND

Sophisticated Population Dynamics

Wilson-Cowan Dynamics Population Density method

Describes large populations of leaky-integrate-and-fire neurons Fokker-Planck but better; no diffusion limit

ρ(v)dv: fraction of

population with membrane potential in [v,v + dv) Balance excitation-inhibition

Conclusions

Many ’cognitive’ models use stereotypic coding patterns which can easily be captured in XML The population is a natural bridge between ’basic’ neuroscience and more higher level models The population level scales well, although it may not be appropriate in every situation Much replication effort can be avoided by extending the NeuroML, NineML domains Very much in the interest of the neurosciences, given the drivers for funding

Status

MIIND: public; XML available (slightly brittle). Documentation, patchy, but improving: http://miind.sf.net Soon: generic 1D neural model solver (not just LIF: QIF as well) Aim: Generic 2D population solver

Izhikevich adaptive exponential synapses

Working on cloud implementation, web interface, tutorial ClamVis: Dave’s project. Not really public but check out:
