neural networks models performing visual search tasks

Code for paper with experiments that use this library: https://github.com/NickleDave/Nicholson-Prinz-2021

Proceedings paper from 2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience that used previous versions of this library.

Tool that can be used to generate visual search stimuli to then carry out experiments with this library: https://github.com/NickleDave/searchstims

The following commands were used to create the environment:

tu@computi:~$ conda create -n searchnets python=3.6 numpy matplotlib imageio joblib tensorflow-gpu 
tu@computi:~$ source activate searchnets
tu@computi:~$ git clone https://github.com/NickleDave/visual-search-nets.git
tu@computi:~$ cd ./visual-search-nets
tu@computi:~$ pip install .

Installing this package (by running pip install . in the source directory) makes it possible to run experiments from the command line with the searchnets command, like so:

tu@computi:~$ searchnets train config.ini

The command-line interface accepts arguments with the syntax searchnets command config.ini,
where command is some command to run, and config.ini is the name of a configuration file with options that specify how the command will be executed.
For details on the commands, see this page in the docs. For details on the config.ini files, please see this other page.
