Preparing to run the examples

Downloading the datasets

A publicly available experimental dataset (Brochier et al. (2018) Scientific Data 5: 180055; https://doi.org/10.1038/sdata.2018.55) is used in the examples, available at https://doi.gin.g-node.org/10.12751/g-node.f83565.

The dataset that is used in the examples is l101210-001.nix, and must be downloaded to your computer. It can be directly accessed at the GIN repository.

Running the examples

A suitable environment can be built using conda with the environment.yaml file located in the examples folder.

conda env create -f environment.yaml

If configuring your own environment, the following additional packages are required (Python 3.8+):

• Neo (https://neuralensemble.org/neo)

• Elephant (https://python-elephant.org)

• nixio (https://pypi.org/project/nixio/)

• matplotlib (https://matplotlib.org/)
