PointCell.compute_spike_train_times¶

single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell.compute_spike_train_times(interval, noise, start=0.0, stop=-1.0, nSpikes=None, spike_source=None)¶

Compute a simple spike train for the presynaptic cell.

For more sophisticated methods than a simple spike train, see single_cell_parser.network.NetworkMapper._create_pointcell_activities().

Parameters:¶

interval : float¶

Mean interval between spikes.

noise : float¶

Noise parameter.

start : float, optional¶

Start time of spike train. Defaults to 0.0.

stop : float, optional¶

Stop time of spike train. Defaults to -1.0.

nSpikes : int, optional¶

Number of spikes. Defaults to None.

spike_source : str, optional¶

Spike source category (see single_cell_parser.network.NetworkMapper._create_pointcell_activities())
