Command: ppd_sup_generator

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
ppd_sup_generator - imulate the superimposed spike train of a population
of Poisson processes
with dead time.
Description:
The ppd_sup_generator generator simulates the pooled spike train of a
population of neurons firing independently with Poisson process with dead
time statistics.
The rate parameter can also be sine-modulated. The generator does not
initialize to equilibrium in this case, initial transients might occur.
Parameters:
The following parameters appear in the element's status dictionary:
\verbatim embed:rst
=================== ======== =================================================
rate spikes/s Mean firing rate of the component processes,
default: 0 spikes/s
dead_time ms Minimal time between two spikes of the component
processes, default: 0 ms
n_proc integer Number of superimposed independent component
processes, default: 1
frequency Hz Rate modulation frequency, default: 0 Hz
relative_amplitude real Relative rate modulation amplitude, default: 0
=================== ======== =================================================
