Detailed Description
A leaky-integrate-and-fire (I&F) neuron.
Model
A standard leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron model is implemented where the membrane potential
of a neuron is given by
where
is the membrane time constant,
is the membrane resistance,
is the current supplied by the synapses,
is a non-specific background current and
is a Gaussion random variable with zero mean and a given variance noise.
At time
ist set to
. If
exceeds the threshold voltage
it is reset to
and hold there for the length
of the absolute refractory period.
Implementation
The exponential Euler method is used for numerical integration.
