 ## How to use the nest-streaming-module?
 The *nest-streaming-module* registers a new RecordingBackend to the simulator. When registering a `RecordingDevice` using PyNEST the used recording backend can be specified in the `record_to` parameter. If you want to stream the data, set this parameter to `['streaming']`. Clients that receive the data can be either written in Python or C++. See https://devhub.vr.rwth-aachen.de/VR-Group/nesci-contra-demos for examples.
