Electrophys Feature Extraction Library

The Electrophys Feature Extraction Library (eFEL) allows neuroscientists to automatically extract features from time series data recorded from neurons (both in vitro and in silico). Examples are the action potential width and amplitude in voltage traces recorded during whole-cell patch clamp experiments. The user of the library provides a set of traces and selects the features to be calculated. The library will then extract the requested features and return the values to the user.

Blue Brain Python E-feature extraction

BluePyEfe aims at easing the process of reading experimental recordings and extracting batches of electrical features from these recordings. To do so, it combines trace reading functions and features extraction functions from the eFel library.

BluePyOpt

Blue Brain Python Optimisation Library

The Blue Brain Python Optimisation Library (BluePyOpt) is an extensible framework for data-driven model parameter optimisation that wraps and standardises several existing open-source tools.

Blue Brain Python Cell Model Management

When building a network simulation, biophysically detailed electrical models (e-models) need to be tested for every morphology that is possibly used in the circuit.

Runs cells from stand-alone packages

EModelRunner is a python library designed to run the cell models provided by the Blue Brain portals in a simple and straightforward way.

Interacts with single cell models through a web application

Blue-Neuroscience-as-a-Service-SingleCell is an open source web application. It enables users to quickly visualize single cell model morphologies in 3D or as a dendrogram. Using a simple web user interface, single cell simulations can be easily configured and launched, producing voltage traces from selected compartments.
