Overview

neuronmi is a Python package with an high-level API to simulate neurons with finite element methods.

It allows users to build meshes with neurons and recording devices, and to simulate the neuronal activity with different models:

• 3D-3D EMI formulation
• 3D-1D EMI formulation
• hybrid solution (in progress)

The EMI model (Extracellular-Membrane-Intracellular) is the most advanced of these models, as it explicitly represents the intracellular and extracellular spaces, and the neuronal membrane. This formulation enables users to simulate and study complex phenomena, including ephaptic effects between neurons and the effect of neural devices on the recorded signals.
