Grid cells are a type of cells found in some mammalian species that have very regular spatial firing fields. When these animals forage in experimental arenas, grid cells are active only in certain places and the locations where they are active form a hexagonal lattice. More information can be found in [MOSER2007]_ or in [HAFTING2005]_.
gridcells dogridcells is a simple Python library that aims to provide an open source code
repository related to analysis of grid cell related experiments and simulation
of models of grid cells.
gridcells can be downloaded from https://github.com/lsolanka/gridcells.
There are a number of dependencies you need to install this package:

- SWIG (ideally >= 3.0; earlier versions not tested)
- numpy (>= 1.8)
- scipy (>= 0.13.3)
