RatLab - sensory input and motor control of rats governed by integrate-and-fire networks in 2-D virtual environments. Inputs from the environment to the network include the visual field, proximity to markers in the environment, ambient sound and proprioreception.
See RatWorld for general capabilities. The RatLab component is for modeling behavioural experiments. It takes a environment, rat, and optionally a pre-recorded trajectory, and exports the results to a scrolling activity display, a population grid display, and a spike analysis unit.
The user interface documdntation explains other features of the lab.
