[NEST Users] Fwd: Re: Nest Neuron Modelling - Tonic Neuron Input and Synaptic Weight Normalization

Dear Benedikt We don't have an implementation that does this, but I don't see any reason why you can't make your own. The most effective way to do this is using NESTML, then you don't have to worry about C++ or numerics. A brief description of NESTML with links to publications and Github is here: https://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc/EN/Expertise/SimLab/slns/research/nestml/… we are happy to support you in using this. This is tricky. We did implement something close to this for a paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncom.2010.00160/full but we did not merge the infrastructure changes with master, because we felt it wasn't general enough. Making a general version would be a large, complicated job. As a workaround, you could consider running your simulation in small time segments, and after each segment you can read-out, sum and normalise the incoming weights for each neuron 'manually' from your simulation script. For a small network this will work fine, but it won't scale.
