NeuroField Setup Walkthrough

Here's how to get started

1. Download a copy of NeuroField using git. If you haven't done this before, follow these instructions.

• Print out or open the manual - it's in the Documentation folder

• Make sure you are using GCC 4.8 or higher, as the code requires the C++11 random libraries. If you are working in the School of Physics at USYD, follow these instructions

• Want to use NeuroField on Windows or Mac OS? Go here first.

• Open a terminal, go into the neurofield folder, and type make to build the project. Having trouble compiling?

• Do a test run

    ./bin/neurofield -i Configs/example.conf -o example.output
  

  This will run the configuration file example.conf inside the Configs folder, and generate example.output. You should look at both of these in a text editor.

• Congratulations, you have now used NeuroField!

Things to do next

• Read through the manual for more detailed information about configuration options, model specification, and the files that are included in the repository.
• Try out the Matlab analysis routines.
• Run more of the example configurations included in the Configs folder.
• Use NeuroField with the Robinson et. al. corticothalamic model by downloading corticothalamic-model and using the included NeuroField functionality
