iaf_cond_beta

iaf_cond_beta - Simple conductance based leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model

Description

iaf_cond_beta is an implementation of a spiking neuron using IAF dynamics with conductance-based synapses. Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic change of conductance modelled by a beta function. The beta function is normalised such that an event of weight 1.0 results in a peak current of 1 nS at \(t = \tau_{rise\_[ex|in]}\).
