The Model Museum

There is an ever-growing galaxy of neurobiological models and credit assignment processes [1, 2]. One of ngc-learn’s aims, in the spirit of scientific reproducibility, is to capture a snapshot of as many of these biomimetic/neuro-mimetic models as possible, in the form of a digital “museum”. This museum is further designed with the notion of exhibits and exhibitors, aiding to facilitate credit assignment and respectful citation to the ideas and the work of those that have helped to lay the foundations for the progress observed today. Recently, we have separated out the model museum into its own particular maintained repository called ngc-museum, where you can find and access/run historical models and agents built with ngc-learn to perform different experimental tasks.

Please refer to the table of contents for walkthroughs on using and running various historical models in the museum.
