Command: ppd_sup_generator

Name:
ppd_sup_generator - simulate the superimposed spike train of a population of Poisson processes with dead time.
Description:
The ppd_sup_generator generator simulates the pooled spike train of a population of neurons firing independently with Poisson process with dead time statistics. The rate parameter can also be sine-modulated. The generator does not initialize to equilibrium in this case, initial transients might occur.
Parameters:
The following parameters appear in the element's status dictionary: rate - mean firing rate of the component processes. (double, var) dead_time - minimal time between two spikes of the component processes. (double, var) n_proc - number of superimposed independent component processes. (long, var) frequency - rate modulation frequency. (double, var) amplitude - relative rate modulation amplitude. (double, var) Note: The generator has been published in Deger, Helias, Boucsein, Rotter (2011) Statistical properties of superimposed stationary spike trains, Journal of Computational Neuroscience.
