announcing HHsim: a graphical Hodgkin-Huxley simulator in MATLAB

[Dave_Touretzky@cs.cmu.edu]

HHsim is a graphical simulation of a section of excitable neuronal
membrane using the Hodgkin-Huxley equations.  It provides full access
to the Hodgkin-Huxley parameters, membrane parameters, stimulus
parameters, and ion concentrations.  HHsim requires MATLAB version 6.

In contrast with NEURON or GENESIS, which are vastly more
sophisticated research tools, HHsim is simple educational software
designed specifically for graduate or undergraduate neurophysiology
courses.  The user interface can be mastered in a couple of minutes
and provides many ways for the student to experiment.

HHsim is free software distributed under the GNU General Public
License.  To download the software, or view screen captures
illustrating its features, visit the HHsim web page:

HHsim was written by Dave Touretzky, Mark Albert, and Nathaniel Daw in
the Computer Science Department and the Center for the Neural Basis of
Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University.  Its development was
supported in part by National Science Foundation grant DGE-9987588.
