Simulations can be performed in guest or logged mode.
Guest mode is the system default, but to save properties and/or simulation
results in the database and retrieve them later, you have to be logged in the
system. If you don't have a user account, create a new one in User page.
How to perform a
simulation:
1. Choose how many neural nuclei and neurons will take
part in the simulation, using the Neural pools page. Click on the apply button in order to save your
choice. Please remember to use the apply button every time you change any
setting in any page.
2. Apply stimuli to the neural nuclei, using the Synaptic Drive or Electrical stimulation pages.
3. You can modify synaptic strength in the Synapses pages
or change parameters of motoneurons, interneurons, sensory fibers, motor-units or voltage-dependent
conductances in the proper pages.
4. Set simulation duration in the Simulation page
and click on the start button.
5. After finishing the simulation, you can either
create different graphs in the Graphics page or export raw data for further analysis*.
A few illustrative examples
of simulation results may be found in the following links:
1. Membrane potential time-course.
2. Adaptation.
3. Force generation and EMG signal.
4. Raster plots of motoneurons.
5. Spike Histogram.
* For the latter, go to the Files or Summary pages. The texts generated in either mode (Files or Summary) should
be copied using the Edit menu in the browser. Use “Select All” followed by “Copy”
and then paste on any text editor. Now, the file can be saved for future use by
any mathematical or data processing software package.
