Learn how to leverage Lava’s algorithm libraries for application development and how to program in Lava targeting Loihi or CPU backends including an overview Lava's architectural concepts.

Lava community contributions:

• Brian2Lava - Connecting Brian to Lava: Brian2Lava enables to define computational neuroscience models using the Brian2 syntax and to simulate these models using Lava. Thereby, the package facilitates the use of all Lava-supported hardware systems, including Loihi 1 and Loihi 2, for neuroscientific research.

• Fugu2Lava -- Fugu is a spiking neural algorithm builder. It takes groups of spiking neurons, called "bricks", and assembles them into larger applications. Currently this supports Loihi 1 as a backend, and will add Lava to offer broader hardware support.
