Recording

The model is now fully implemented. In addition we want to record traces of some quantities of interest. Suppose we want record the membrane potential and the spikes of neuron n as well as the postsynaptic respones (the field psr) of the synapse. To do so we have to create a Recorder object and tell this object which fields from which objects to record. The recorder is created with the command

    » r=csim('create','Recorder');

and the following commands tell the recorder r to record the field psr of synapse s as its first trace and the field Vm of neuron n as its second trace:

    » csim('connect',r,s,'psr'); 

    » csim('connect',r,n,'Vm');   

Using the special field spikes the same syntax will be used to record the spikes of neuron n as the third trace of recorder r.

    » csim('connect',r,n,'spikes');

The following figure summarizes which objects we have created and how they are connected:
