Abstract: This live demo ramps up from basic concepts to recent research on spatially organized neuronal network models with the simulator NEST (https://ebrains.eu/service/nest-simulator). Starting with the graphical user interface NEST Desktop (https://ebrains.eu/service/nest-desktop), we interactively construct a network model and explore its dynamics in the web browser. Afterwards, we turn to scripted PyNEST code and investigate the relationship between distance-dependent connectivity and spatially and temporally resolved patterns in spiking activity using Jupyter Notebooks. All examples will be made available in the EBRAINS Collaboratory.
