Important
pulse2percept 0.4.3 is the last release to support Python 2.7 and 3.4. pulse2percept 0.5+ require Python 3.5 or newer.
- New API (:pull:`96`, :pull:`174`, :pull:`178`)
- New implants: :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.BVA24` (:pull:`161`)
- New models: :py:class:`~pulse2percept.models.ScoreboardModel` (:pull:`96`), :py:class:`~pulse2percept.models.AxonMapModel` (:pull:`96`), :py:class:`~pulse2percept.models.Nanduri2012Model` (:pull:`168`), :py:class:`~pulse2percept.models.Horsager2009Model` (:pull:`180`)
- New stimuli: :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.BiphasicPulseTrain`, :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.AsymmetricBiphasicPulse`, :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.AsymmetricBiphasicPulseTrain` (:pull:`178`)
- New :py:mod:`~pulse2percept.percepts` subpackage (:pull:`174`)
- New :py:mod:`~pulse2percept.datasets` subpackage (:pull:`167`)
- New build process: Compile code and run tests via
Makefile(:pull:`96`) - Documentation now includes a tutorial, user guide, developer's guide, and a gallery
- Python 2.7 and 3.4 are no longer supported (:pull:`96`)
- A visual prosthesis is now considered a :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.ProsthesisSystem` consisting of an :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.ElectrodeArray` and optionally a :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.Stimulus` (:pull:`96`).
- A :py:class:`~pulse2percept.models.Model` can be built by mix-and-matching spatial and temporal models from different publications (:pull:`174`).
- A :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.Stimulus` can be created from various source types, such as scalars, NumPy arrays, lists, and dictionaries. There are also a variety of built-in pulses and pulse trains (e.g., :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.BiphasicPulseTrain`).
- :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.ElectrodeArray` now stores electrodes in a dictionary (:issue:`74`).
- :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.ElectrodeGrid` can be used to create electrodes on a rectangular (:pull:`150`) or hexagonal grid (:pull:`160`).
- Times are now specified in milliseconds.
- The
Simulationobject has been removed. Please directly :ref:`instantiate a model <topics-models>` instead. pulse2percept.retina: use :py:mod:`~pulse2percept.models` insteadpulse2percept.files: use :py:mod:`~pulse2percept.io` instead
TimeSeries: use :py:class:`~pulse2percept.stimuli.Stimulus` instead- Old pulses got renamed to
LegacyMonophasicPulse,LegacyBiphasicPulseandLegacyPulseTrain
pulse2percept.retina.Nanduri2012: improved Cython implementation

- New :py:mod:`pulse2percept.viz` module (:pull:`84`)
- Support for the :py:class:`~pulse2percept.implants.AlphaIMS` implant (:pull:`87`)
- Automated wheelhouse build (:pull:`130`)
- New contribution guidelines (:pull:`92`)
- New issue templates (:pull:`93`)
- New code of conduct (:pull:`95`)
- Host documentation on pulse2percept.readthedocs.io.
- Fix nasal/temporal labeling for left eyes (:commit:`9c3bddc`)
- Fix :py:meth:`~pulse2percept.viz.plot_fundus` for left eyes (:commit:`a6ffdbc`)
- Fix
scipy.special.factorial(:commit:`c9631ae`)
- Cython integration:
- The model described in Nanduri et al. (2012) now uses a finite difference method implemented in Cython as opposed to FFT-based convolutions (:pull:`83`)
- Single-core benchmarks show a 200x speedup over a pure-Python implementation.
- Python 2.7 unpacking error in :py:meth:`~pulse2percept.viz.plot_fundus` (:commit:`3dd9d1e`)
