BrainPy is a flexible, efficient, and extensible framework for computational neuroscience and brain-inspired computation based on the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation (built on top of JAX, Taichi, Numba, and others). It provides an integrative ecosystem for brain dynamics programming, including brain dynamics building, simulation, training, analysis, etc.

NOTE
Starting from our experimental BrainPy package, a better and mature ecosystem for brain dynamics programming is emerging. Please see the Brain Dynamics Programming Ecosystem for more details.
If you are heavily using BrainPy, please consider using brainstate for a more stable, efficient, concise, and powerful experience.
brainstate is and will be active maintained and developed by our team. We highly recommend transferring your code to brainstate for a better performance.
BrainPy is based on Python (>=3.8) and can be installed on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 or later), macOS (10.12 or later), and Windows platforms.
For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the documentation: Quickstart/Installation
We provide a docker image for BrainPy. You can use the following command to pull the image:
$ docker pull brainpy/brainpy:latest
Then, you can run the image with the following command:
$ docker run -it --platform linux/amd64 brainpy/brainpy:latest
We provide a Binder environment for BrainPy. You can use the following button to launch the environment:
- Brain Dynamics Programming Ecosystem: An emerging and mature ecosystem for brain dynamics programming.
- BrainPy: The solution for the general-purpose brain dynamics programming.
- brainpy-examples: Comprehensive examples of BrainPy computation.
- brainpy-datasets: Neuromorphic and Cognitive Datasets for Brain Dynamics Modeling.
