Welcome to Brian2WASM’s Documentation

The brian2wasm package is a Brian 2 simulator device that compiles Brian 2 models into WebAssembly and JavaScript using the Emscripten toolchain. It generates a self-contained web folder containing HTML, JavaScript, and a .wasm binary, enabling simulations to run directly in any modern web browser.
