spike_dilutor – Repeat incoming spikes with a certain probability
=================================================================

Description
+++++++++++

The device repeats incoming spikes with a certain probability.
Targets will receive different spike trains.

In parallel simulations, a copy of the device is present on each process
and spikes are collected only from local sources.

.. admonition:: Deprecated model

   ``spike_dilutor`` is deprecated because it does not work with multiple threads.
   To create connections that transmit spikes with a given probability, use :doc:`bernoulli_synapse <bernoulli_synapse>`
instead.

.. admonition:: Does not work with threads

   ``spike_dilutor`` only works in single-threaded simulations. It can be used with MPI-parallel simulations.

Parameters
++++++++++

p_copy
    Copy probability

Sends
+++++

SpikeEvent
