Name:gauss_rate - rate model with Gaussian gain function
Description:
gauss_rate is an implementation of a nonlinear rate model with input
function input(h) = g * exp( -( x - mu )^2 / ( 2 * sigma^2 ) ).
Input transformation can either be applied to individual inputs
or to the sum of all inputs.
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.
mu double - Mean of the Gaussian gain function.
sigma double - Standard deviation of Gaussian gain function.
linear_summation bool - Specifies type of non-linearity (see above).
rectify_output bool - Switch to restrict rate to values >= 0.
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.
