The talk comes courtesy of Trevor Bekolay, a computational neuroscientist at the University of Waterloo. Bekolay introduces several Python tools that enable the simulation of neurons, such as Brian and an adaptation of the classic Neuron simulator software, but, mostly, the Nenga Neural Simulator project, which Bekolay is a developer on. The key difference with Nengo is that it allows a natural and intuitive scaling up of neurological processes. Nengo was featured at PyCon 2015.
