Pair Recording application

Pair Recording application is a web environment for a small circuit in-silico experiments.

It provides an extended toolset to configure and run simulations of single cell models as well as multiple connected neurons from a given circuit. The application's graphical user interface allows user to define in a first step a small circuit composed of several connected neurons, and in a second step to experiment on this circuit by defining a stimulation and reporting protocol.

System design

Dev env

A development environment for both fronteend and backend parts of the app can be started by using make. Docker image for backend is required to be present in the system and can be built with make docker_build_latest from ./backend directory.

To start a backend:

make run_dev_backend

Dev frontend env is powered by Webpack and can be started with:

make run_dev_frontend

Usage

See Guidebook

Deployment

Makefile has a create_oo_deployment target that can be used to deploy the current version of the app to an OpenShift cluster. Invoking this target will create OpenShift deployment configs, services and external routes, needed by the app to function. Deployment configuration can be customised by overriding specific environment variables, see Makefile for details.
