pulsepacket_generator – Generate sequence of Gaussian pulse packets¶
Description¶
The pulsepacket_generator produces a spike train contains Gaussian pulse packets centered about given times. A Gaussian pulse packet is a given number of spikes with normal distributed random displacements from the center time of the pulse. It resembles the output of synfire groups of neurons.
Remarks:
All targets receive identical spike trains.
New pulse packets are generated when activity or sdev are changed.
Gaussian pulse are independently generated for each given pulse-center time.
Both standard deviation and number of spikes may be set at any time. Pulses are then re-generated with the new values.
Parameters¶
pulse_times |
ms |
Times of the centers of pulses |
activity |
integer |
Number of spikes per pulse |
sdev |
ms |
Standard deviation of spike times in each pulse |
