poisson_generator – Simulated neuron firing with Poisson process statistics¶
Description¶
The poisson_generator simulates a neuron that is firing with Poisson statistics, i.e. exponentially distributed interspike intervals. It will generate a _unique_ spike train for each of it’s targets. If you do not want this behavior and need the same spike train for all targets, you have to use a parrot neuron between the poisson generator and the targets.
Parameters¶
The following parameters appear in the element’s status dictionary:
rate |
spikes/s |
Mean firing rate |
origin |
ms |
Time origin for device timer |
start |
ms |
Begin of device application with resp. to origin |
stop |
ms |
End of device application with resp. to origin |
