It is written in the Python programming language and is available on almost all platforms. We believe that a simulator should not only save the time of processors, but also the time of scientists. Brian is therefore designed to be easy to learn and use, highly flexible and easily extensible.\n\nPlease report issues at the github issue tracker (https://github.com/brian-team/brian2/issues) or in the Brian forum (https://brian.discourse.group).\n\nDocumentation for Brian2 can be found at http://brian2.readthedocs.org\n\nBrian2 is released under the terms of the [CeCILL 2.1 license](https://opensource.org/licenses/CECILL-2.1).\n\nIf you use Brian for your published research, we kindly ask you to cite our article:\n\n\u003e Stimberg, M, Brette, R, Goodman, DFM. “Brian 2, an Intuitive and Efficient Neural Simulator.” eLife 8 (2019): e47314. doi: [10.7554/eLife.47314](https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.47314).\n\n\n[![PyPI version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/Brian2.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Brian2)\n[![Conda version](https://img.shields.io/conda/vn/conda-forge/brian2.svg)](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/brian2)\n[![Debian package](https://img.shields.io/debian/v/python3-brian/testing)](https://packages.debian.org/testing/python3-brian)\n[![Fedora package](https://img.shields.io/fedora/v/python3-brian2)](https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/python-brian2/python3-brian2/)\n[![Spack](https://img.shields.io/spack/v/py-brian2)](https://packages.spack.io/package.html?name=py-brian2)\n[![AUR version](https://img.shields.io/aur/version/python-brian2)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-brian2)\n\n[![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/briansimulator/brian)](https://hub.docker.com/r/briansimulator/brian)\n[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.14736290.svg)](https://zenodo.org/doi/10.5281/zenodo.14736290)\n[![Software Heritage (repository)](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/badge/origin/https://github.com/brian-team/brian2/)](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/?origin_url=https://github.com/brian-team/brian2)\n[![Software Heritage (release)](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/badge/swh:1:rel:fcbc6ab6be25a548a0f04923e6e02573826b2723/)](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/swh:1:rel:fcbc6ab6be25a548a0f04923e6e02573826b2723;origin=https://github.com/brian-team/brian2;visit=swh:1:snp:2b089b3871f9a248db80d55a45bff37fb3fb4c23)\n\n[![Contributor Covenant](https://img.shields.io/badge/Contributor%20Covenant-v1.4%20adopted-ff69b4.svg)](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)\n[![Discourse topics](https://img.shields.io/discourse/topics?server=https%3A%2F%2Fbrian.discourse.group)](https://brian.discourse.group)\n[![Discourse chat](https://img.shields.io/badge/discourse-chat-4EC820?logo=discourse\u0026link=https%3A%2F%2Fbrian.discourse.group%2Fchat)](https://brian.discourse.group/chat)\n[![code style: black](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-black-000000.svg)](https://github.com/psf/black)\n\n## Quickstart\nTry out Brian on the [mybinder](https://mybinder.org/) service:\n\n[![mybinder](https://static.mybinder.org/badge.svg)](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/brian-team/brian2-binder/master?filepath=index.ipynb)\n\n## Dependencies\nThe following packages need to be installed to use Brian 2 (cf.
