This was my Master's project at Cambridge University -- I apologise for the state of the codebase.

The Final Report was submitted in 2014.

The project simulated complex neuronal dynamics, observing the stabilisation of large networks of neurons using different models of inhibitory action. I then analysed connectivity patterns in the network and compared these to experimental data.

The files containing the core of the stabilisation procedure are: utilities.cpp optimise.cpp generateW.cpp

These together generate an initial synaptic weight matrix, and then stabilise the matrix using an iterative technique, varying the inhibitory connection locations and strengths to match the excitatory network.

*.m files contain scripts for analysing the output of trials involving several runs of the stabilisation procedure. *_test.cpp files were used for testing of the functions in the core *.cpp files.

Please read the final report for the project (in Report/FinalReport.pdf) if you want more detail on the methods, results and conclusions of the investigation.
