CSIM: SpikingNeuron Class Reference
SpikingNeuron Class Reference #include <spikingneuron.h >
Inheritance diagram for SpikingNeuron:
List of all members. Detailed Description
Base class for all spiking neurons, i.e. spike emitting objects.
It maintains a list of emitted spikes. Outgoing synapses are granted to have access to this list to implement arbitrary long transmission delays. This is a memory efficient implementation since it would need more memory (for long delays)to store the spikes at each individual synapse.
Public Member Functions
~SpikingNeuron ()
The destructor clears the list of spikes. reset (void)
Reset the SpikingNeuron. fired (void)
This method should return 1 (0) if the spiking neuron fired a spike during the current time step. isRefractory (void)
This method should return 1 (0) if the spiking neuron is in its absolute refractory period. nSpikes (void)
Return the number of spikes the object has emitted since t=0. spikeTime (int i)
Return the time of the i-th spike. copySpikes (double *buffer)
Copy the array of spike times to the given buffer. addIncoming (Advancable *S)
Add an incoming synapse S. addOutgoing (Advancable *S)
Add an outgoing synapse S and check whether S is derived from SpikingSynapse .
Protected Attributes
hasFired
Should be set to true (false) during an implementation of nextstate() if the neuron fires (does not fire).
Private Member Functions
propagateSpike (void)
Notifies all spike destination about the spike at SimulationTime. saveSpike (void)
Add a spike at SimulationTime to the internal spike time list.
Private Attributes
outSpike
If true (false) all spike detinations will be informed about a spike at SimulationTime. Spikes
An array of all spikes emitted. nEmittedSpikes
Number of spikes emited. nSpikesAlloc
Number of spikes which can currently be hold by the array.
