Name:threshold_lin_rate - rate model with threshold-linear gain function
Description:
threshold_lin_rate is an implementation of a non-linear rate model with either
input (threshold_lin_rate_ipn) or output noise (threshold_lin_rate_opn) and
gain
function
Phi(h) = g * (h-theta) * H(h-theta) and Psi(h) = h for linear_summation = True
Phi(h) = h and Psi(h) = g * (h-theta) * H(h-theta) for linear_summation = False
with Heaviside function H.
The model supports connections to other rate models with either zero or
non-zero delay, and uses the secondary_event concept introduced with
the gap-junction framework.
Parameters:
The following parameters can be set in the status dictionary.
rate double - Rate (unitless)
tau double - Time constant of rate dynamics in ms.
mean double - Mean of Gaussian white noise.
std double - Standard deviation of Gaussian white noise.
g double - Gain parameter
theta double - Threshold
linear_summation boolean - specifies type of non-linearity (see above)
Note:
The boolean parameter linear_summation determines whether the
input from different presynaptic neurons is first summed linearly and
then transformed by a nonlinearity (true), or if the input from
individual presynaptic neurons is first nonlinearly transformed and
then summed up (false). Default is true.
