Welcome to the functionalizer documentation

To generate a fully functional connectome, functionalizer takes the output of cell apposition of either touchdetector or connectome-manipulator, and reduces the distribution of touches to follow biological models. Following this optional reduction, functionalizer generates synaptic properties to output a fully functional connectome that may then be simulated.

The reduction operations and synaptic property generation use the fz-td-recipe package to parse a recipe description as described by the SONATA extension.

As Apache Spark interacts best with the Parquet format, the utilities in parquet-converters may be used to convert binary touchdetector output into Parquet and to convert the functionalizer Parquet output to SONATA.
