### Required software

For any simulation in this record, one needs `Python`(version 3.9.9 and higher) and libraries `cython`, `numpy`, `scipy` and `matplotlib`.

    $pip3 install --user numpy scipy matplotlib cython

Additional libraries:

Figure 1 | `NEURON`, `pyabf` and `inspyred`
Figure 2,4,5 | `NEURON`, `h5py`, and `neurodsp`

To install all libraries for all scripts, use a single command

    $pip3 install --user numpy scipy matplotlib cython NEURON pyabf inspyred h5py neurodsp brian2
