Neural Network Software for Research Purposes 
Software for reserach purposes differs from teh application oriented 
perspective of users. Issues of automatic model selction , data integration, 
scalability and automation in gerenal are less important in comparison to 
enhanced degrees of freedom in parametr selection, integration of individual 
source code and add-ons.

						The MathWorks - Neural Network Toolbox | 
					 
					
						| 
						
						This toolbox provides a complete set of functions and a 
						graphical user interface for the design, implementation, 
						visualization, and simulation of neural networks. It 
						supports the most commonly used supervised and 
						unsupervised network architectures and a comprehensive 
						set of training and learning functions |

						NeuroShell Engine  | 
					 
					
						| 
						
						The NeuroShell Engine is an Active X control which can 
						be utilized in modern compilers like Microsoft Visual 
						Basic and Microsoft Visual C++. The control can be added 
						to a program just as other controls are added, like 
						combo boxes and text boxes.  |

						Simulator for Neural Networks and Action Potentials | 
					 
					
						| 
						
						SNNAP -- Simulator for Neural Networks and Action 
						Potentials is a tool for rapid development and 
						simulation of realistic models of single neurons and 
						small neural networks. It includes mathematical 
						descriptions of ion currents and intracellular second 
						messengers and ions. In addition, you can simulate 
						current flow in multicompartment models of neurons by 
						using the equations describing electric coupling. |

						SIMBRAIN | 
					 
					
						| 
						
						SIMBRAIN is a freeware tool for building, runnning, and 
						analyzing neural-networks (computer simulations of brain 
						circuitry). Simbrain aims to be as visual and 
						easy-to-use as possible. Also unique are its integrated 
						"world component" and its representation of the 
						network's activation space. Simbrain is written in Java 
						and runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. |
