The Incorporation of Principled Synapse Models into a Multi-Neuron Simulation Framework
Abstract My research for the Spring 2022 semester focused on improving the pre-existing synaptic model that our simulation had in place. Prior to this semester, the model that was in place took the presynaptic voltage and assigned it as a value of the postsynaptic voltage. My goal for this semester was to improve upon our…
Increasing Accessibility of Virtual Reality Computational Neuroscience Simulations: Unity Oculus to Unity XR
Abstract The Temple University’s Center for Computational Mathematics and Modeling launched the research on developing Neuro-VISOR, a software that enables efficient immersed virtual reality (VR) visualization and real-time interaction with simulations of real-world processes described via principled mathematical equations. The software focuses on providing practical functions in computational neuroscience simulation including generating a 3D mesh…
Improving Neuron Scalability
Abstract My research focused on further developing the Neuro-VISOR software. Neuro-VISOR is a virtual reality real-time interactive simulation of neuron electrical transmissions. Neurons interact in complex networks in the brain, so any simulation must be able to handle a large number of neurons interacting. Additionally, the defining feature of Neuro-VISOR is its ability to be…
