Code for Simulations in the Publication Can the brain use waves to solve planning problems?

Installing Required Python Packages

Please use Python version 3.6 at least. Required packages are listed in requirements.txt and can be installed using pip via pip install -r requirements.txt. Furthermore, you need to install ffmpeg and add its binary directory to your $PATH environment variable.

Running the code

On your commandline, just invoke python Hybrid_Neuron_Simulation.py to run an example simulation. Results will be visualized in several plot windows, that will be live updated. Frames and videos will also be stored directly in the working directory.

Simulation Setups

The different setups are defined in the file setups.py, located in the root directory of the repository. To run the simulation with a specific setup, e.g. complex_maze, simply add the setup name as command line parameter, e.g. python Hybrid_Neuron_Simulation.py complex_maze. In case of supplying an invalid setup name, a list of available setups will be printed.

To run simulations for multiple different setups sequentially, you can use something along the lines of for setup in empty simple s_maze central_block_randomized central_block complex_maze; do python Hybrid_Neuron_Simulation.py $setup; done.
