Brain Dynamics Toolbox
simulating dynamical systems in neuroscience
The Brain Dynamics Toolbox is an open toolbox for simulating dynamical systems in neuroscience. It is for researchers and students who wish to explore mathematical models of brain function in Matlab. It provides a graphical platform for interactive simulation and command-line tools for running simulations in scripts.
Differential Equations
The toolbox solves initial-value problems in systems of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), Delay Differential Equations (DDEs) and Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). Each can be extended to a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) using the method of lines.
Combinatorial Power
The hub-and-spoke architecture allows any combination of display panels and numerical solvers to be applied to any model with no additional programming effort.
Programmable Controls
The graphical controls can be manipulated from the command window as workspace variables.
