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
