As GENESIS 3 is developed. look for documentation and technical information here GENESIS Documentation, as well as on the Neurospaces web site at http://www.neurospaces.org.
Here are some of the main sources of information about GENESIS 2:
- The PDF version of "The Book of GENESIS" The "BoG" (Bower and Beeman, 1998) is the second edition of a practical introduction to realistic neural modeling through the use of the GENESIS simulator. Chapters 4, 5, 7, and 9 cover the basics of realistic neural modeling. Read more about the BoG, View the PDF files, or Download PDF or Postscript files
- Tutorials provided with the GENESIS distribution
The GENESIS distribution includes a number of demonstration simulations in the form of "user-friendly" tutorials. Several of these have been adapted from recent research simulations, and may be modified and used to create one's own simulations. The Book of GENESIS uses these simulations to teach concepts in computational neuroscience, as well as the use of GENESIS. These are some examples and screen shots of the tutorial simulations provided with GENESIS
- The GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials
The GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials are an evolving package of HTML tutorials intended to teach the process of constructing biologically realistic neural models with the GENESIS simulator. This is the best entry point to access a large collection of documentation and tutorials about neural modeling in general, and GENESIS in particular. More information and downloads for the GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials
- The Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution
This is the latest version of a complete self-paced course on biologically realistic modeling, based on an extended version of the GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials package. It contains more tutorials, the Book of GENESIS, GENESIS 2.3 source and binary distributions with installation instructions, and additional GENESIS network simulation scripts, examples, and exercises. Download this if you want everything in one package. More information and downloads for the Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution
- The GENESIS Reference Manual
The hypertext Reference Manual for GENESIS commands and simulation object types (classes). Although this will not teach you neural modeling, it is the indispensible reference for creating GENESIS 2 simulation scripts. View the Manual or Download the gzipped manual:Hyperdoc.tar.gz
- User-contributed Documentation and Tutorials These are found under the Education tab on the GENESIS home page www.genesis-sim.org, along with short Mini-tutorials, If you would like to contribute a short "HOWTO" document, commented example simulation or demo, or educational material suitable for course use, please upload it under Education.
