README
BrainPy is a flexible, efficient, and extensible framework for computational neuroscience and brain-inspired computation based on the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation (built on top of [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax), [Taichi](https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi), [Numba](https://github.com/numba/numba), and others). It provides an integrative ecosystem for brain dynamics programming, including brain dynamics **building**, **simulation**, **training**, **analysis**, etc.
