This repository contains code for all the simulations presented in the paper:

Thunderstruck: The ACDC model of flexible sequences and rhythms in recurrent neural circuits https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.07.438842v1

All simulations can be run independently, but have however some dependencies:

To succesfully run simulations 1-6,8 and 9, the associated python files must be situated in a folder containing the .txt files within the folder "Weights Simulations 1-6 and 8-9". These files correspond to the learnt weights that can also be obtained by running Simulation 1. The same applies for Simulations 7 and the folfer "Weights Simulations 7".

To recreate the Audio 1 and 2 simulations the .wav files within the "Notes for Sound simulations" need to be in the same folder where the Simulation 7 - Audio file 1/2...py files are run from.

To recreate videos 1 and 2, each simulation .py file must be in a folder containing the files within the video 1 and 2 folders, respectively. Additionaly, for video 1, this folder must also contain the files in the folder "Weights Simulations 7". Note finally that the pca.rar in folder "Video 1" has to be unziped prior to running the simulation.
