Simulations of biological neural networks are becoming an important tool for advancing our understanding of how brain processes information. Mozaik is an automated workflow for large-scale neural simulations. The model of primary visual cortex developed in our lab, and implemented in Mozaik [1], has a complex connectivity structure. Although Mozaik performs various tests to verify that the connectivity has been constructed as expected, currently, there is no easy way to visualize the network spatial structure in Mozaik. The aim of this project is to develop a model inspection and visualization tool for Mozaik, possibly building on existing technologies such as ConnPlotter, Moogli, or NeurAnim.
