June 2020 - NEST Users - NEST Initiative Mail

by s.kraemer96＠gmx.net

Dear all, I´m writing a master thesis on spiking neural networks and how transparent they are. For that I need to implement a SNN network and train it. So I started with Brian but that is much to complex and I don´t need something special. So I decided to use PyNest. I did all the tutorials but I´m missing a tutorial how to train the network. I don´t know how to put in a dataset to train the model. I haven´t found anything to this topic. So my questions are: 1. Can PyNest train set up a SNN and train it trough data and if not is there another simulator who can do this? 2. How do I do it? Is there anything I missed to read or can someone send me an example? This would be very helpful. Thanks for your help. Best, Sonja
