 The ability to interpret the neural origin of macroscale MEG/EEG signals in a 
 complex high-dimensional non-linear computational neural model is challenging. 
 A primary goal of HNN is to facilitate this interpretation with a clear API and examples

+of use in HNN-core, and interactive GUI-based tutorals for all HNN-GUI functionality on our HNN website.  
 Following the process for creating new featuers in HNN, the process for documenting 
 new features will be to first develop them with API and examples of use in HNN-core, followed
 by integration into the HNN-GUI, with corresponding GUI-based tutorials on the HNN-website.
