Enabling Event-driven Computation in Brain Dynamics

Supported Python Version LICENSE Documentation Status PyPI version Continuous Integration PyPI Downloads

Brain is characterized by the discrete spiking events, which are the fundamental units of computation in the brain.

BrainEvent provides a set of data structures and algorithms for such event-driven computation, which can be used to model the brain dynamics in a more efficient and biologically plausible way.

Particularly, it provides the following class to represent binary events in the brain:

  • EventArray: representing array with a vector/matrix of events.

Furthermore, it implements the following commonly used data structures for event-driven computation of the above class:

  • COO: a sparse matrix in COO format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • CSR: a sparse matrix in CSR format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • CSC: a sparse matrix in CSC format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • BlockCSR: a block sparse matrix in CSR format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • BlockELL: a block sparse matrix in ELL format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • JITC_CSR: a just-in-time connectivity sparse matrix in CSR format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • JITC_CSC: a just-in-time connectivity sparse matrix in CSC format for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • FixedPreNumConn: a fixed number of pre-synaptic connections for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • FixedPostNumConn: a fixed number of post-synaptic connections for sparse and event-driven computation.
  • ...

BrainEvent is fully compatible with physical units and unit-aware computations provided in BrainUnit.
