Overview

This package provides tools to model the motion detector of Drosophila's visual system. It is designed for easy set-up of columnar structured neural networks, as in arthropods' compound eyes.

Requirements

CompoundPye was tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with Python 2.7 only.
It requires following modules:

  • NumPy
  • SciPy
  • OpenCV for python (cv2)
  • NetworkX
  • PyQt4

Structure

To get an idea of how to use the module, a good starting point is to run cp_GUI.py. This should start CompoundPye's main GUI, where you can set up neural circuits, decide which stimuli to show to the modelled visual system, and start a simulation.
BEWARE: No usage example yet, and GUI tool-tips still missing, so setting up simulations without instructions will be hard.
