Topographica comes with the following step-by-step guides to running simulations:

LISSOM Orientation Map
How to run and test a simple orientation map simulation using the LISSOM cortical model. The tutorial allows you to present various objects to a saved orientation map network, and to visualize and analyze the responses. It also shows how to develop a new simulation using different input patterns.

GCAL Orientation Map
Same tutorial as for LISSOM, but using the newer GCAL model that is simpler yet more robust.

SOM Retinotopic Map
How to run a model that develops selectivity for position, mapping the input space to the cortical space. The model uses the abstract SOM algorithm, focusing on the basic principles of self-organization rather than modeling any particular biological system.
These should be good starting points for seeing how Topographica works and how to use a Topographica model. If you develop any other tutorials for your own models, we would love to add them here!
