Abstract
NEST Desktop is a web-based GUI application for NEST Simulator [1, 2].
It has been established as an useful tool to guide students and newcomers to learn
the concept of computational neuroscience. Here, the user is able to perform virtual
experiment on local machine or on public website [3].
In the last years NEST Desktop has been enhanced to communicate with different
applications such as Insite (for showing activity during live simulation) [4] and
NeuroRoboticPlatform (NRP) [5], ViSimpl (a visualization application)[6].
In my talk, I will demonstrate various scenarios using NEST Desktop where the user can
- explore behavior of neuron models
- apply other provided neuron models, e.g. multi-compartmental models
- visualize synaptic weights in the network with plasticity (STDP, Tsodyks).
Furthermore, I will exhibit ideas for interfaces in NEST Desktop
- to build custom neuron models with NESTML
- to better analyze simulation data with Elephant
- to use PyNN as code template.
