Brian: a pure Python neural simulator
-------------------------------------
http://brian.di.ens.fr/

Brian is a new simulator for spiking neural networks available on
almost all platforms. The motivation for this project is that a
simulator should not only save the time of processors, but also the
time of scientists. Brian is easy to learn and use, highly flexible
and easily extensible. The Brian package itself and simulations using
it are all written in the Python programming language, which is an
easy, concise and highly developed language with many advanced
features and development tools, excellent documentation and a large
community of users providing support and extension packages. This
makes Brian an excellent choice for teaching.
Brian is being developed by Romain Brette (brette at di.ens.fr) and Dan
Goodman (goodman at di.ens.fr).

The web site (http://brian.di.ens.fr/) contains a few examples (click
on Demo), installation instructions and the documentation. There is
also a public forum where you can ask any questions:
