Spike source cells

class arbor.spike_source_cell

A spike source cell, that generates a user-defined sequence of spikes that act as inputs for other cells in the network.

spike_source_cell(source, schedule)

Construct a spike source cell that generates spikes and give it the label source. The label can be used for forming connections from the cell in the arbor.recipe by creating a arbor.connection

• at regular intervals (using an arbor.regular_schedule)

• at a sequence of user-defined times (using an arbor.explicit_schedule)

• at times defined by a Poisson sequence (using an arbor.poisson_schedule)

Parameters:

• source – label of the source on the cell.

• schedule – User-defined sequence of time points (choose from arbor.regular_schedule, arbor.explicit_schedule, or arbor.poisson_schedule).
