@apdavison Requesting review and docstring changes |
|
@apdavison Also Added One Neuron Noise Example. Please review and share docstring convention for PyNN |
|
Added two neuron example in simple networks from NEST |
|
Thanks for these @HarshKhilawala. These are rather simple examples, but they are helpful since they match examples in the NEST documentation. |
|
@apdavison Here, my approach was to get familiarity with PyNN codebase so I considered implementing simple network from NEST with PyNN. But I do acknowledge my lack of prior experience in neuroscience. Even with simple networks, I am facing some issues. I have a separate PR for this where I request you to please review my code. (PR has changes linked to all files) Refer to PR#802 |

@apdavison Updated scripts. PTAL! |

Ready to merge. Suggest additional changes if necessary |
… PyNN version gives the same results as the PyNEST original. This also sets the initial membrane potential to -70 mV, to match the NEST default.
- set initial membrane potential to -70 mV to match NEST default - use a smaller time step (0.01 ms) otherwise Brian does not respond to the incoming spikes - use separate Projections for the excitatory and inhibitory connections
…l to -70 mV; put both neurons into a single Population; plot both neurons on the same axes.
Reproduced same example of NEST - One Neuron using PyNN.
