    This MATLAB code was contributed by Yujiang.Wang at newcastle.ac.uk

    To run this code, it is important to includ the lib folder in your
    path (as done in startup.m).

    Some of the scripts require a lot of memory (up to 2GB), and can be
    very slow depending on the machine you run it on. An easy way to get
    around this is to reduce the system size (e.g. n=50).

    basicSim.m and basicSimDelay.m demonstrate how a basic simulation can
    be obtained. To understand the functions in lib, it is recommended to
    go through these two files step by step. basicSimDelay.m essentially
    simulates the same system as basicSim.m, only with delay times
    included.

    The lib folder includes the functions to create your own patchy remote
    connectivity matrices. To download the code version with all the
    precalculated connectivity matrices, please go to the code & resources
    section on the author's website http://ywang.co.uk/

    The files Fig*.m can be used to reproduce the time series in the
    figures 4-8 in the publication.

    Example run:
    Type at the matlab command prompt:

    startup
    Fig4_runRampFocal

    After a little while (30 seconds on a 2013 MacBook Pro laptop) a few
    figures appear including this one:
