Re: Feature requests for 3.0?

Hi Alexander (or Casper?),

Thanks for your enthusiasm!  

"Do u plan to insert GRAPH module to display neuron activity at timeline?"

Yes, we are using JFreeChart for v3, which has lots of great charting capabilities.  Here is a screenshot with the kind of time-series you're asking about.



"And other suggession: can you insert field so i can write there my own eqatations? For example Hoghin-Hagsley neuron eqatations. (I want to test my own models). Is it hard to do?"

Others have requested this in the past, and it's been on the todo list for a long time, but because you're asking for it I'll bump it up in priority!  One question is what the best user experience would be for this.  What would be the most intuitive way to implement this?  I'd be interested in what you and others think.

But realistically, I think the easiest would be to give users the ability to create custom activation functions using a small beanshell script (we have expanded beanshell scripting abilities for version 3).  This would mean writing a few lines of java code to implement your custom activation function (the same could be done for synapses and subnetworks  too).

But again, I am curious how you and others would intuitively want to see this implemented.

Best,

- Jeff
