Synapse Models

FactorSynapse #

Bases: Synapse

Synapse which scales the transmitted value by a specified factor. Factor is equivalent to the connection weight if weight==1.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
max_trans float

Maximum value that can be transmitted. Default: None.

 None
mod_factor float

Factor by which the weight value is multiplied. Default: 0.
