dc_generator – provides direct current (DC) input¶
Description¶
The dc_generator provides a constant DC input to the connected node. The unit of the current is pA.
The dc_generator is rather inefficient, since it needs to send the same current information on each time step. If you only need a constant bias current into a neuron, you could instead directly set the property I_e, which is available in many neuron models.
Parameters¶
The following parameters can be set in the status dictionary:
amplitude |
pA |
