Escape Response Replication Project

A computational neuroscience project with the goal of replicating the following linked paper with Brian2: https://www.eneuro.org/content/eneuro/6/2/ENEURO.0423-18.2019.full.pdf, and publishing it in ReScience C

Repository to the original paper's code can be found here: https://github.com/ModelDBRepository/245415

And forked version with minor fixes can be found here: https://github.com/CompNeuroSociety-at-FSU/fork-escape-response

Example of a previously published computational neuroscience ReScience C paper can be found here: https://rescience.github.io/bibliography/Reynes_2025.html

Contributing with Pull/Merge Requests

Follow these steps to create and submit pull/merge requests:

1. Create a new branch from the main branch for your work:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout -b your-feature-branch

2. Make your changes in the new branch, committing regularly with clear, descriptive commit messages:

   git add <modified-files>
   git commit -m "Brief description of changes"

3. Keep your branch up to date with the main branch to avoid merge conflicts:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout your-feature-branch
   git merge main

4. Push your branch to the remote repository:

   git push origin your-feature-branch

5. Create a Pull/Merge Request on GitHub/GitLab:

   • Navigate to the repository on the web interface
   • Click "New Pull Request" or "New Merge Request"
   • Select your feature branch as the source and main as the target
   • Provide a clear title and description of your changes
   • Reference any related issues using #issue-number

6. Request reviews from team members and address any feedback:

   • Make additional commits to your branch to address comments
   • Push updates to automatically update the PR/MR

7. Merge your request once approved:

   • Ensure all CI/CD checks pass
   • Use "Squash and merge" or "Merge commit" as per team conventions
   • Delete the feature branch after merging

8. Update your local repository after merging:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git branch -d your-feature-branch
