Using computational modeling to study changes in the tuning of brain dynamics across different species

1. +models: package folder containing different brain network model functions
2. +utils: package folder containing various utility analysis and visualization functions
3. artworks: folder containing silhouette artworks of different species used in the paper
4. data: folder containing source data to reproduce the figures of the paper
5. demo_simulation.m: code to demonstrate how to simulate different models
6. generate_paper_figures.m: code to generate the main figures of the paper
7. generate_paper_suppfigures.m: code to generate the supplementary figures of the paper
8. manuscript.pdf: pre-accepted version of the paper

Download the repository and add to your Matlab path

Some important aspects you need to do before running generate_paper_X.m

1. Download cbrewer and add to Matlab path.
2. Download the latest version (2019) of the Brain Connectivity Toolbox and add to Matlab path.
3. Download the gifti library and add to Matlab path.
4. Download Stuart Oldham's repository for drawing ROI boundaries on a surface and add to Matlab path.

The codes have been tested on versions of MATLAB from R2018b to R2020b.

Note that the configuration of your computer (e.g., screen resolution) affects how the figures created by running generate_paper_figures.m and generate_paper_suppfigures.m will look. Hence, they will not 100% visually match the figures in the paper, but the scientific contents are replicated.
