A demonstrator GUI was designed in Python using PyQT framework and matplotlib library for performing synfire chain neuromorphic experiments on connected FPGA hardware and recording and displaying the results on a Window. The window contains controls for changing the parameters before running the experiment. The GUI is immensely helpful for research scientists in running fast experiments and collection of results for analysis from a single window.
