Phase 1

Code Manual

For this phase, you will need to complete LIFPopulation in cnsproject.network.neural_populations module. You can ignore the following attributes in this phase:

• spike_trace

• additive_spike_trace

• tau_s

• trace_scale

• is_inhibitory

• learning

The first four parameters are responsible for spike traces. You can simply call forward and compute_decay of the parent class at the end of the corresponding method in LIFPopulation.

Make sure to read the documentation provided in NeuralPopulation class before getting started. You will also need an object of Monitor to record parameters of the neuron through time. The class is located in cnsproject.network.monitors module. Read the documentation and instruction provided in its file for further details. Implement all your visualization functions and classes in plotting module.
