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())
