Dendritic coincidence: screenshot from the project repository.
The idea
Dendrites do more than pass signals along. This playable simulation makes the relationship between input timing, location and a neuron's response something you can explore.
The approach
A four-compartment CA1 neuron model connects adjustable synaptic inputs to a voltage-coloured view, playback and timing sweeps. This is an educational browser simulation with simplified biophysics; the design notes describe the model, parameter choices and limits.
