Virtual MEA measurements in Python (ViMEAPy) is a Python toolbox for calculating the extracellular potential arising from a known current source distribution, in the in vitro slice setting, where a thin slice of neural tissue is immersed in saline on top of a Micro Electrode Array (MEA). For this experimental set-up, calculating the extracellular potentials arising from a known distribution of current sources is a non-trivial problem because of the heterogeneous conductivity of the system. We provide here a Python toolbox that facilitates such modelling by use of the Method of Images.
