poisson_generator_ps – Simulated neuron firing with Poisson process statistics - precise spike timing version with arbitrary dead times¶
Description¶
The poisson_generator_ps simulates a neuron firing with Poisson statistics (with dead time), i.e. exponentially distributed interspike intervals plus constant dead time, spike events have exact timing, i.e. they are not constrained to the simulation time grid.
Note
This generator must be connected to all its targets using the same synapse model. Failure to do so will only be detected at runtime.
Parameters¶
The following parameters appear in the element’s status dictionary:
rate |
spikes/s |
Mean firing rate |
dead_time |
ms |
Minimal time between two spikes |
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 |
Sends¶
SpikeEvent
