Fatiguing Leaky Integrate and Fire Neurons
- Most of the Parameters on the Set Parameters menu
set up the neural model.
- For instance, integrate and fire means that the
neurons integrate activity (from other neurons),
and if the neuron surpasses a threshold, it fires.
- That threshold is the Set Parameters/Activation Threshold
menu item.
- Fatigue means that a neuron should get more tired the longer
it fires.
- This is the Set Parameters/Fatigue Rate menu item.
- If a neuron doesn't fire, the fatigue goes down by the
Fatigue Recovery Rate, making it more likely to fire.
- The final major parameter is the decay. If a neuron fires,
it loses all its activity. However, if it doesn't fire,
some of the activity is retained. Activation at t= Activation at
t-1/decay.
- Oh, when the neurons fire, they send out activity.
- The activity is the connection weight between neurons.
Each connection is indpendent.
The net is not well connected.
There is no self connection.
Neurons are either inhibitory or excitatory but not both.
