Neuronify
To build and explore neural networks, you drag neurons and measurement devices onto the screen. In addition, the app comes with several ready-made simulations for inspiration.
We aim to provide a low entry point to simulation-based neuroscience. Most students won't get the opportunity to create their own neural simulator. With Neuronify, these students are still able to build up their intuition by experimenting with neural phenomena.
Neuronify is based on an integrate-and-fire model of neurons. This is one of the simplest models of neurons that exist. It focuses on the spike timing of a neuron and ignores the details of the action potential dynamics. These neurons are modeled as simple RC circuits. When the membrane potential is above a certain threshold, a spike is generated and the voltage is reset to its resting potential. This spike then signals other neurons through its synapses.

great educational app. i now want to read the book it cites on computational modelling in neuroscience. i would pay a few dollars for an expanded version, or a version i could expand with software
Play with this and instantly get a tactical feel for how neurons and neural nets actually do things. Great.
This is a great and fun app that teaches the basics of computational Neuroscience
Not very beginner friendly but seems to contain a lot of possibility.
Why do you need access to mic and cam?
Great app. can add motion sensor too. It would be great if you added circuits of basal ganglion as in examples.
Gives itself camera and microphone permissions. To disable, go to apps -> app manager -> neuronify. Please have the app prompt us for permissions, not enable them automatically.
I couldn't use it to make anything REALLY interesting but this is a great app
Could you make more action buttons? Like vibration on trigger, led color change (ingame led) or something? Otherwise, good game
just amazing. hope to see more apps that make learning fun!
It's amazing but please add weights to the connections.
Very nicely presented. Easy to use. Excellent work!
voltmeter is working again, i appreciate the quick response from the developer
Responsive devs. Fixed a key problem quickly.
Lovely and educational
Really great for getting a hands on experience in network connectivity. It definitely makes it easy to see why circuits work the way they do, while also providing a good deal of fun tinkering with a network. I hope future updates allow for more dynamic interactions between individual nodes. It'd be really cool if there was a way to make a plastic circuit that could model LTP/LTD!
I really like this app, easy to understand and fun to tinker with. What I would like to see, and apparently a few others also want to see this, is to be able to submit what you created either to show off what you built or help new people out with different mechanics and ideas.
I am having problems with the visual input... I am not even sure if it is reading from my camera. Apart from that it's a good app. Would like to see a sound input too.
Interesting
Doesn't work. First time it shows a blank screen, if I reopen it says fatal error. Bummer, I really wanted to try this
Your understanding of how the neural networks function reaches a new level with this app that allows you to visualize the process. Ver insightful . Loved it.
Hey, the game seems to be pretty nice, but unfortunately the voltmeter isn't working, there is just no plot on it even in the tutorials, though neurons are being activated by electricity source. I think the app would be much better with all its functions enabled...
This app is easy enough to play around with but also seems to be advanced enough to do a lot more. It would be nice if there was an option to copy and paste small networks, and if the grid system were a bit easier to work with.
It's not clear how to remove connections between neurons.
Great app for demonstration of complex principles.
Beautiful and informative.
Another user wrote, and this bug exists for me too: i'm not able to add anything but note and touch sensor :(
When building your own neural networks it would help to be able to submit the network for review or analysis. The tutorials show some basic networks. But is there any profit in playing with custom networks? For us amateurs we could only discern uninteresting networks from interesting networks with feedback.
i've had this long. ago and the app is requesting an update because it was built for an older version of Android. i'm left *scratching my head* as there's no update. Any ways, it's all about neuron ciruitry. it could use plasticity. and different types of neurotransmitters. other than that i just really want to make Robert Sapolsky's image recognition circuitry diagramedInHisBook"Behave:Human BiologyAtOurBestAnd Worst."The brainIsSimilarToAComputer.left hemiphereWorksLikeASerialProcessessor.
