NEST network object
by alehr 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Dear NEST developer, I would like to initialize a network with neurons and connections and then run many simulations with it. It would be great if I could build the network one time and then deepcopy (or something similar) for each simulation. Is something like this possible? Thanks, Andrew Lehr

Multi-compartmental models
by benediktr＠hotmail.de 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

Dear nest developer, Is there a pre-implemented nest model allowing multiplicative aggregation of compartments/dendritic branches. I am looking for a model that will allow multiplicative aggregation of two dendritic branches at the soma. I very much appreciate any support provided. Best regards, Benedikt

Realtime access to spikes in simulation
by Benjamin Staude 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

Hi NEST-Team, To use the NEST-Simluator in an interactive installation, I would need to 1) have access to the spike in the network in realtime, and 2) send signals (spikes) to neurons in the simulation in realtime. For 1), I could imagine writing the spike-times to a file and then reading that file while the simulation is running. However, I currently don’t see an option for 2). Then I heard that you are actually working on module that would enable realtime I/O-access. Is that the case? And, if so, is there a timeline?

Hackathon on CEREBELLUM MODELLING
by Dennis Terhorst 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Dear simulation enthusiasts, The group in Pavia is preparing an event around CEREBELLUM MODELLING, in which you can see NEST and other simulators put to use on larger scale. It will be a nice occasion to meet with many other users, exchange experience and learn about model construction. Egidio, Claudia, Simona and team are organising this as a hackathon: Hackathon on CEREBELLUM MODELLING 13-15 January 2020, in Pavia. If you are interested in joining, please drop Simona Tritto an email:simona.tritto@unipv.it<mailto:simona.tritto@unipv.it> You can find the program attached. best, Dennis -- Dipl.-Phys.

Reset Network with to_file
by Maryada Maryada 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

Hi all, I am currently using nest.ResetNetwork() with to_file option and when I reset the network, seemingly it also deletes everything recorded so far by connected probes (spike detector, for instance). Any suggestions on how to avoid the deletion of previously written data on files. -- Thanks and Regards *Maryada*

Can somebody comment on this plan? I’m using the nest-3 branch heavily on FUGAKU and am wondering when it’ll be merged in the master.
