Getting Started

Introduction

Ceed is a Python based application to help run in-vitro experiments that optically stimulates brain slices and records their activity.

Ceed is the user interface for describing and running the experiments. The overall system is described in System Blueprint. See the User Guide for a user guide.

Complete developer API documentation is at The Ceed API.

Usage

Ceed is normally run on the PC connected to the required hardware described in System Blueprint. However, it can also be run in a demo-mode on a Windows/Linux PC without any additional hardware (see Demo install).

To run Ceed, you first need to install it as a python package; see Installation.

After it’s installed, you can run it by running the run_app file, or by entering ceed in the terminal. For example:

python ceed/run_app.py
# or if you are in the python environment where ceed was installed, just
ceed

Configuration

Ceed can be fully configured through a yaml file. This file is normally in the data directory under ceed, where ceed is installed. Documentation for all the configuration options is listed in the configuration docs.
