This package provides code to encode and decode videos with time encoding machines consisting of gabor or centre surround receptive fields followed by Integrate-and-fire neurons [1], [2] . It supports both the pseudoinverse algorithm, described in [1], [2] and recurrent neural networks method, described in [3] for decoding.
This software was written by Yiyin Zhou and packaged by Nikul Ukani, both currently at the Bionet Group [4] at Columbia University.
