man genesis (Commandes) - GEneral NEural SImulation System
NAME
genesis - GEneral NEural SImulation System
SYNOPSIS
genesis [simulation]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has ASCII and HTML documentation (installed in /usr/share/doc/genesis).
GENESIS is a general purpose simulation platform which was developed to support the simulation of neural systems ranging from complex models of single neurons to simulations of large networks made up of more abstract neuronal components. GENESIS has provided the basis for laboratory courses in neural simulation at both Caltech and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Most current GENESIS applications involve realistic simulations of biological neural systems. Although the software can also model more abstract networks, other simulators are more suitable for backpropagation and similar connectionist modeling.
OPTIONS
You may specify the name of a simulation to load (usually from a file ending with a '.g' extension). GENESIS will search the current directory, and all directories in your SIMPATH. (set in .simrc )
FILES
- .simrc
- GENESIS will search your home directory and the current directory for a '.simrc' file, containing some configuration parameters (most notably its search paths). You can copy one with reasonable defaults from /usr/share/genesis/startup/simrc
SEE ALSO
The programs are documented fully by the reference manual, available in /usr/share/doc/genesis
