IACS/CS SEMINAR: The “White Rat” of Numerical Reproducibility

Speaker, Michael Mascagni, Florida State University
We explore an application from the author’s work in neuroscience. A code used to investigate neural development modeled 100 neurons with all-to-all excitatory connectivity. We used a simple ordinary differential equation system to model each neuron, and this model was used to produce a paper published in the Journal of Neurophysiology. Later a colleague used our code to continue this work, and found he could not reproduce our results.
