LsmTool is a set of Matlab scripts that allows to asses the the real-time computing capability of neural microcircuit models. LsmTool is based on a new theoretical framework for analysing real time computations in neural microcircuits: the Liquid State Machine.
To get a thorough understandig of LsmTool it is a good idea to read the paper describing the basic ideas as well as the paper which describes on a higher level this software package.
This manual is intended to describe how to use the Matlab scripts provided by LsmTool to perform computer experiments within the LSM framework.
We assume that the reader has Matlab programming knowledge.
Although a short introtuction into the basic concept of the LSM is given we strongly recommend to read [Maass et al., 2002,Natschläger et al., 2002b].
This manual is also available as printable PDF file.
