Collaborative software platform for computational brain research based on OpenRTM

Many computational models should be integrated and executed on computers to simulate human visual systems. However, such integration has been difficult because every researcher has used different programming languages and different I/O formats. To solve this problem, we propose a software platform on which many vision models can be combined with less effort. The platform is based on “OpenRTM”. Using our platform enables connection and execution of computational models written in C/C++, Java, Python, and MATLAB in a distributed/parallel computer environment.
