Command: pulsepacket_generator

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
pulsepacket_generator - Generate sequence of Gaussian pulse packets.
Description:
The pulsepacket_generator produces a spike train contains Gaussian pulse
packets centered about given times. A Gaussian pulse packet is
a given number of spikes with normal distributed random displacements
from the center time of the pulse.
It resembles the output of synfire groups of neurons.
Parameters:
pulse_times double - Times of the centers of pulses in ms
activity int - Number of spikes per pulse
sdev double - Standard deviation of spike times in each pulse in ms
Sends:
SpikeEvent
Remarks:
• All targets receive identical spike trains.
• New pulse packets are generated when activity or sdev are changed.
• Gaussian pulse are independently generated for each given
pulse-center time.
• Both standard deviation and number of spikes may be set at any time.
Pulses are then re-generated with the new values.
