Abstract
A core goal for neuroscientists is to understand the physiological processes behind
memory, learning, and cognition. By developing computational models of the brain,
scientists can simulate how neurons interact with each other and study these interactions
more closely. However, these simulations often require technical expertise to create and
can be difficult to analyze due to a lack of comprehensive visualization tools. Neocortical
View, or NCV for short, aims to solve these problems by providing a simple, convenient
graphical interface for managing virtual brain models.
NCV interacts with the Neurocortical Simulator developed by the Brain
Computation Laboratory at UNR, allowing users to build models, distribute simulations
across the available hardware, and view the current network state in 3D. It provides an
intuitive and extensible simulation platform with a reduced learning curve, abstracting
away the complex setup and analysis of neural simulations and allowing neuroscientists
to focus on neuroscience.
