How to use the simulation Code

Prerequirements

• Linux
• Within conda environment
• Python>=3.10
• CompNeuroPy==1.0.4
• ANNarchy==4.8.1

Quick Overview

• 'core_parameters': all global parameters
• 'core_model': how the ANNarchy model is created (Poster content is related to the 'prediction_model')
• 'core_experiment': how the experimental paradigm is implemented
• 'simulation_run', 'simulation', and 'simulation_analyze': scripts for running the task with the model + creating figures

Simulate and Analyze

Simulating and analyzing is started using 'simulation_run.py'. You can start both together or separately.

Simulate / create the date:

Make sure in the file 'core_paramters': SIMULATION_SIMULATE = True and SIMULATION_OPTIMIZE = False. Then run the pyhton file 'simulation_run.py'.

Analyze / create figures:

Make sure in the file 'core_paramters': SIMULATION_ANALYZE = True, SIMULATION_PF_RESPONSE_PLOT = True, and SIMULATION_SINGLE_TRIAL_PLOT = True. Set SIMULATION_SIMULATE = False if you already created data / dont want to simulate again. Then run the python file 'simulation_run.py'.

Data and figures are stored in the 'simulation_data/' folder (as defined in the 'core_paramters' file).
