A Technology Showcase project has been added to illustrate some of the features of the "Connection Set Algebra":http://software.incf.org/software/csa library, and how it can interact with NeuroML & PyNN.

See "here":http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/csashowcase for more details.

A project has been added to start to investigate the possible interactions between NeuroML & "Nengo":http://nengo.ca, see Nengo - NeuroML interoperability.

While it is early days, this will make it easier to encode large scale neural and cognitive models such as "Spaun":http://www.sciencemag.org/content/338/6111/1202 into standardised formats and exchange components with other simulators.

OSB now uses Gravatar images for user icons. Go to http://en.gravatar.com/, register with the email address you used for OSB and your avatar will be used on the OSB site.

A major update of the look and feel of the OSB website is under way.

Some elements of the old site may be cached in your browser, so please try reloading the page.

We welcome any feedback on: info@opensourcebrain.org

A number of project sources have been migrated from Mercurial based repositories on the OSB site to GitHub repositories, e.g.

https://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/SolinasEtAl-GolgiCell
https://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/CA1PyramidalCell

This is to facilitate greater branching/forking of projects as enabled by GitHub.

More news on this when the move to the new server (and www.opensourcebrain.org, not 8080) is complete

New links to Guides (tutorials on the use of various aspects of OSB functionality) and Themes (gathering information on related projects, e.g. of a specific brain region) have been added to the main menu on top of each OSB page.

Comments and suggestions for new Guides/Themes are welcome.

The first of hopefully many guides to various aspects of OSB has been added.
Getting started with OSB is here: http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/gettingstarted/wiki/Wiki

Two new projects have been added to the repository. A Cerebellar Nucleus Neuron - Steuber et al. 2011 model of Volker Steuber and Dieter Jaeger, and a Striatal Spiny Projection Neuron - Blackwell of Avrama Blackwell. Both in development, not yet stable.

A new link to a (too) brief overview of the OSB project has been added: http://www.opensourcebrain.org/about

A new look for the website has been added. Please have a look at http://www.opensourcebrain.org:8080.
