Detailed Description

Container class for a network of neurons and synapses.

Container class for a network of neurons and synapses.

Public Member Functions

• Network (void)

  Constructor.
  
  

• virtual ~Network ()

  Destructor.
  
  

• virtual int addNewObject (Advancable *a)

  Add a new object to the network. Note that we do not check if it was already added before.
  
  

• Advancable * getObject (uint32 idx)

  Return a pointer to the object in the network identified by idx.
  
  

• int connect (uint32 destination, uint32 source)

  Setup an information flow from source to destionation using indexes.
  
  

• int connect (uint32 recorderIdx, uint32 *objIdx, uint32 n, char *fieldName)
• int reset (void)

  Call reset for each object in the network.
  
  

• int simulate (unsigned long nSteps, csimInputChannel *inputSignal, int ni, csimInputChannel *teacherSignal, int nt)

  Simulate the network for some time steps with an array of given inputs.
  
  

• unsigned long totalSpikeCount (void)

  Count the total number of spikes occured during the simulation (starting at time ).
  
  

• void getSpikes (uint32 *idx, double *times)

• int getParameter (uint32 *idx, int n, char *paramName, double **value, int *m)

  Get the values of a given fields of severl objects.
  
  

• int updateObjects (void)

  Update all internal variables of all object by calling object->fieldChangeNotify();.
  
  

• void ScheduleSpike (SpikingSynapse *s, pSpikeHandler h, double delay)

  This function will be called by any SpikingNeuron if it wants to transmit a spike.
  
  

• int listObjects (bool fields)

  Print out a list of all objects.
