Field notes on preserving neural models, testing the execution stack and learning from results that complicate the headline.

Introducing Brian2 Atlas: an open engine for neural simulation and training

Why we built Atlas, how a shared execution architecture connects Brian2 models to different runtimes, and what the published experiments show.
