BrainPy: Brain Dynamics Programming in Python

Project description

Header image of BrainPy - brain dynamics programming in Python.

Supported Python Version LICENSE Documentation PyPI version Continuous Integration Continuous Integration with Models

BrainPy is a flexible, efficient, and extensible framework for computational neuroscience and brain-inspired computation based on the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation (built on top of JAX, Taichi, Numba, and others). It provides an integrative ecosystem for brain dynamics programming, including brain dynamics building, simulation, training, analysis, etc.

Installation

BrainPy is based on Python (>=3.8) and can be installed on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 or later), macOS (10.12 or later), and Windows platforms.

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the documentation: Quickstart/Installation

Using BrainPy with docker

We provide a docker image for BrainPy. You can use the following command to pull the image:

$ docker pull brainpy/brainpy:latest

Then, you can run the image with the following command:

$ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 brainpy/brainpy:latest

Using BrainPy with Binder

We provide a Binder environment for BrainPy. You can use the following button to launch the environment:
