Macroscopic EEG modeling with axon propagation delays

The code simulates scalp-recorded EEG dynamics by implementing a linear macroscopic network model based on long-range axon delays. It uses a linear vector autoregressive framework with a few parameters to replicate features of real EEG data, such as resting-state alpha power and coherence.

Getting started

Clone the repository and navigate to the root folder:

git clone https://github.com/thatmariia/macro-eeg-model.git
cd macro-eeg-model

Open the documentation:

• On macOS:

open docs/build/html/index.html

• On Linux:

firefox docs/build/html/index.html

(replace firefox with google-chrome or another browser if necessary). If running on Ubuntu, you may simply run

xdg-open docs/build/html/index.html

• On Windows:

start docs/build/html/index.html

The documentation provides all further details on how to install required packages, run the code, and access the results. Additionally, it contains the API reference.
