BrainPy documentation

BrainPy is a highly flexible and extensible framework targeting on the high-performance Brain Dynamics Programming (BDP). Among its key ingredients, BrainPy supports:

• JIT compilation and automatic differentiation for class objects.

• Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), stochastic differential equations (SDEs), delay differential equations (DDEs), fractional differential equations (FDEs), etc.

• Dynamics simulation tools for various brain objects, like neurons, synapses, networks, soma, dendrites, channels, and even more.

• Dynamics training tools with various machine learning algorithms, like FORCE learning, ridge regression, back-propagation, etc.

• Dynamics analysis tools for differential equations, including phase plane analysis, bifurcation analysis, linearization analysis, and fixed/slow point finding.

• And more others ……
