Working Memory Model with Distractor

We've added new parameters to the working memory simulation: you can now provide a distractor stimulus and probe the stability of the bump.

Bugfix

Fixed a minor bug in spike tools
removed PyPI package. (migration from pypi.python.org to http://pypi.org not yet planned)

New Exercise: Decision Making Circuit (Wong & Wang)

New exercise

http://neuronaldynamics-exercises.readthedocs.io/en/latest/exercises/perceptual-decision-making.html

In the exercise "Perceptual Decision Making" we study an implementation of the circuit proposed in by Wong, K.-F. & Wang, X.-J. A Recurrent Network Mechanism of Time Integration in Perceptual Decisions. J. Neurosci. 26, 1314–1328 (2006)

Bugfixes

a few minor fixes

New Exercise: Spatial Working Memory

Release notes

• Minor bug fixes

New exercises and refactoring

Release notes

• Added 4 new exercises:
  • Exponential integrate and fire model
  • Adaptive Exponential integrate and fire models
  • Dendrites and the (passive) cable equation
  • Network of LIF neurons (Brunel)

Complete brian2 rewrite

This release completes the brian2 rewrite of the brian1 branch.

Release notes

• Brian2 is used instead of Brian1
• General rewrite of exercise code, adding proper documentation
• Rudimentary unit testing of all exercise-related code, and integration of TravisCI for github.
• Pypi and anaconda packages are automatically generated for releases, to ease in-class installation of exercises for students
• All exercises have been moved from pdf's in module directories, to http://neuronaldynamics-exercises.readthedocs.org
• Exercises have been rewritten in rst, and now contain direct links to the autogenerated documentation, making it easier for students to look up the working of functions used in exercises.
