Here are two much "higher quality" (in comparison to the Rochester
Connectionists Simulator). I hope you enjoy them::
1. Genesis - An elaborate X windows simulator that is particularly well
suited for modeling biological neural networks.
unix> telnet genesis.cns.caltech.edu (or 131.215.135.185)
Name: genesis
Follow directions there to get a ftp account from which you
can ftp 'genesis.tar.Z". This contains genesis source and
several tutorial demos. NOTE: There is a fee to become a
registered user.
2. PlaNet (AKA SunNet) - A popular connectionist simulator with versions to
run under SunTools, X Windows, and non-graphics terminals
created by Yoshiro Miyata. The SunTools version is not
supported.
unix> ftp boulder.colorado.edu (128.138.240.1)
Name: anonymous
Password: ident
ftp> cd pub
ftp> binary
ftp> get PlaNet5.6.tar.Z
ftp> quit
unix> zcat PlaNet5.6.tar.Z | tar xf -
All you need to do to try it is to type:
unix> Tutorial
This will install a program appropriate for your environment
and start an on-line tutorial. If you don't need a tutorial,
just type 'Install' to install the system and then
'source RunNet' to start it. See the file README for more
details.
The 60-page User's Guide has been split into three separate
postscript files so that each can be printed from a printer
with limited memory. Print the files doc/PlaNet_doc{1,2,3}.ps
from your postscript printer. See the doc/README file for
printing the Reference Manual.
Enjoy!! And send any questions to miyata@boulder.colorado.edu.
