Poisson Inputs

Poisson input neurons allow you to create a homogeneous population which all have the same firing rate. The specific spike times are then randomly generated using the CUDA random number generation.

If you would like individual neurons in your input population to have different firing rates, see the PatternedPoissonInputSpikingNeurons.

Class Name:

PoissonInputSpikingNeurons

Parameter Structure:

struct poisson_input_spiking_neuron_parameters_struct {

  int group_shape[2];                                  // 2D layer size (Neuron Parameter)

  float rate;                                          // Population Firing Rates (Poisson Neuron Parameter)

}
