Summary
This project aims to advance bio-realistic neuroscience modeling by developing a user support and dissemination platform for the Brain Modeling ToolKit (BMTK) and SONATA data format, and by integrating SONATA with the VMD molecular visualization software.
What they want
The project involves building a comprehensive user support and dissemination platform for the Brain Modeling ToolKit (BMTK) and SONATA data format. It also includes efforts to integrate BMTK and SONATA into model building and simulation practices within the neuroscience community. Additionally, the project will integrate the VMD molecular visualization software with SONATA to provide a free, highly efficient visualization tool for neuroscience modeling, thereby facilitating free exchange, reproducibility, and sophisticated modeling work, especially for large-scale biologically realistic models.
Deliverables
- Comprehensive user support and dissemination platform for BMTK and SONATA
- Integration of BMTK and SONATA into model building and simulation practices in the community
- Integration of VMD software with SONATA to offer a free, highly efficient visualization tool for neuroscience modeling
Technical requirements
- Brain Modeling ToolKit (BMTK)
- SONATA (Scalable Open Network Architecture TemplAte) data format
- VMD molecular visualization software
