Using the Traub et al (2005) model of the cortex we determined how 33 synaptic strength parameters control gamma oscillations. We used fractional factorial design to reduce the number of runs required to 4096. We found an expected multiplicative interaction between parameters.

1) Build the neuron load library from the command line
nrnivmodl mod

2) The python script des2runs.py reads the design file created by Nimrod,
creates a PBS run file which passes the parameters to neuron model and 
submits the run to the PBS queueing system.

3) The matlab script EFPgen.m reads the output files and generates local 
field traces in matlab format (EFP.mat)

4) The matlab script EFP2PSD.m reads the EPF data and creates power spectra
in matlab format (PSD.mat)

5) The matlab script singleoutput.m reads the PSD file and generates the
output used in figs 4, 5 and 6 of the paper.

You will almost certainly need to modify these scripts to work in your
environment.
