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). It can also be applied to Partial Differential Equations (PDEs).
Combinatorial Power
The hub-and-spoke architecture of the toolbox allows unlimited combinations of display panels and numerical solvers to be applied to any model with no additional programming effort.
Programmable Controls
The graphical controls are accessible as workspace variables so that parameter sweeps can be automated from the command window.
Open Source
The source code is distributed under the 2-clause BSD license which is an approved license of the Open Source Initiative.
