API Reference

Complete API reference for brainspike: JAX re-implementations of NEST models that preserve NEST parameter names and semantics, the spatial layer, and the NEST-style Simulator. Everything is importable from the public brainspike namespace.

NEST-compatible

JAX re-implementations preserving NEST parameter names, plus the spatial layer and the Simulator. Parity with a live NEST install is documented on the validation status page.
