Name:
lin_rate - Linear rate model
Description:
lin_rate is an implementation of a linear rate model with
input function \f$ input(h) = g * h \f$.
The model supports multiplicative coupling which can
be switched on and off via the boolean parameter mult_coupling
(default=false). In case multiplicative coupling is actived
the excitatory input of the model is multiplied with the function
\f$ mult\_coupling\_ex(rate) = g_{ex} * ( \theta_{ex} - rate ) \f$
and the inhibitory input is multiplied with the function
\f$ mult\_coupling\_in(rate) = g_{in} * ( \theta_{in} + rate ) \f$.

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.
