Dear NEST community,
I am working with the triplets STDP connection on NEST simulations, and I
am interested in how the weight dynamics change when the spike trains are
altered in some specific ways.
In order to do that, I run a network simulation using NEST and the triplets
STDP rule and save the full spike trains of two neurons which are
synaptically connected (one pre and one post). I then recreate the weight
changes on a code outside the NEST loop, so that I can manipulate the spike
trains and observe what happens to the synaptic weights.
Trying to validate this approach, though, I find that my code (outside NEST
loop) generates different weight values than the NEST simulation when using
the same spike trains generated during the simulation. I guess I have some
error in my implementation of the triplets rule. I thought it could be
something with the implementation of the delays, or the moment when the
weights are measured in the simulation, but I have had no success trying to
fix it yet.
I know this is not exactly a NEST issue, but I thought I would give it a
try and ask here at the list. In case someone has already worked with the
triplets rule and could point me out to what is/could be wrong in my
implementation, I would very much appreciate it :)
Thanks!
best,
Júlia
