Welcome!

This is the start page for information about Simbrain development. Simbrain is an open source project, and it goes without saying that we could use your help. If you've found a bug, can suggest an improvement to the interface, would like to add features, etc., join us, or feel free to post a message to our forum.

Simbrain 3

Simbrain 3 has been in development for several years, and there is now an alpha release available in the download section. There is a lot more work to do so feel free to either comment on the forum or contribute fixes, documentation, etc.
