Neuroscience Software Development: A Request for Community Input.

We invite members of the Neuroscience Community to share their insights and request their inputs.

This survey seeks to understand the common challenges in developing, maintaining, and facilitating computational neuroscience software.

Your feedback will help us identify shared pain points, opportunities for innovations, potential areas for improvement, and contribute towards building a more user-friendly and sustainable computational neuroscience ecosystem.

We thank you for your time and valuable insights!
