inhomogeneous_poisson_generator – Provides Poisson spike trains at a piecewise constant rate¶
Description¶
The inhomogeneous Poisson generator provides Poisson spike trains at a piecewise constant rate to the connected node(s). The rate of the process is changed at the specified times. The unit of the instantaneous rate is spikes/s. By default, each target of the generator will receive a different spike train.
Parameters¶
The following parameters can be set in the status dictionary:
rate_times |
list of ms |
Times at which rate changes |
rate_values |
list of spikes/s |
Rate of Poisson spike train |
allow_offgrid_times |
boolean |
If false, spike times will be rounded to the nearest step if they are less than tic/2 from the step, otherwise NEST reports an error. If true, spike times are rounded to the nearest step if within tic/2 from the step, otherwise they are rounded up to the end of the step. Default: false |
