Description: ## Self-Organizing Recurrent Neural Networks 
        
        SORN is a class of neuro-inspired computing model build based on plasticity mechanisms in biological brain and mimic neocortical circuits ability of learning and adaptation through neuroplasticity mechanisms.

        #### To install the latest release:
        
        ```python
        pip install sorn
        ```
        
        The library is still in alpha stage, so you may also want to install the latest version from the development branch:
        
        ```python
        pip install git+https://github.com/Saran-nns/sorn
        ```
        
        #### Dependencies
        SORN supports Python 3.5+ ONLY. For older Python versions please use the official Python client
        
        
        #### Usage:
        
        ##### Update Network configurations
        
        Navigate to home/conda/envs/ENVNAME/Lib/site-packages/sorn
        
        or if you are unsure about the directory of sorn
        
        Run
        
        ```python
        import sorn
        
        sorn.__file__
        ```
        to find the location of the sorn package
        
        Then, update/edit the configuration.ini
        
        
        ##### Plasticity Phase
        
        ```Python
        # Import 
        from sorn.sorn import RunSorn
        
        # Sample input 
        inputs = [0.]
        
        # To simulate the network; 
        matrices_dict, Exc_activity, Inh_activity, Rec_activity, num_active_connections = RunSorn(phase='Plasticity', matrices=None,
                                                                                  time_steps=100).run_sorn(inputs)
        
        # To resume the simulation, load the matrices_dict from previous simulation;
        matrices_dict, Exc_activity, Inh_activity, Rec_activity, num_active_connections = RunSorn(phase='Plasticity', matrices=matrices_dict,
                                                                                  time_steps=100).run_sorn(inputs)
        ```
        
        ##### Training phase:
        
        ```Python
        matrices_dict, Exc_activity, Inh_activity, Rec_activity, num_active_connections = RunSorn(phase='Training', matrices=matrices_dict,
                                                                                  time_steps=100).run_sorn(inputs)
        ```
        
        #### Network Output Descriptions:
            matrices_dict  - Dictionary of connection weights ('Wee','Wei','Wie') , Excitatory network activity ('X'), Inhibitory network activities('Y'), Threshold values ('Te','Ti')
        
            Exc_activity - Collection of Excitatory network activity of entire simulation period
        
            Inh_activitsy - Collection of Inhibitory network activity of entire simulation period
        
            Rec_activity - Collection of Recurrent network activity of entire simulation period
        
            num_active_connections - List of number of active connections in the Excitatory pool at each time step 
        
        
        #### Sample Plotting functions 
        
        
        
        ```Python
        from sorn.utils import Plotter
        # Plot weight distribution in the network
        Plotter.weight_distribution(weights= matrices_dict['Wee'], bin_size = 5, savefig = False)
        
        # Plot Spike train of all neurons in the network
        Plotter.scatter_plot(spike_train = np.asarray(Exc_activity), savefig=False)
        
        
        Plotter.raster_plot(spike_train = np.asarray(Exc_activity), savefig=False)
        ```
        
        #### Sample Statistical analysis functions
        
        ```Python
        from sorn.utils import Statistics
        #t-lagged auto correlation between neural activity
        Statistics.autocorr(firing_rates = [1,1,5,6,3,7],t= 2)
        
        # Fano factor: To verify poissonian process in spike generation of neuron 10
        Statistics.fanofactor(spike_train= np.asarray(Exc_activity),neuron = 10,window_size = 10)
        ```
