Hi Maryada, If you have a predetermined current that you want to inject, you can use step_current_generator. This should work well if you have only a limited number of injected currents as suggested by your figure. If you want to inject a very large number of currents, we would need to take another look, since step_current_generator is replicated on all threads, which can cause scaling problems. If you just want noisy currents, you have the noise_generator for Gaussian noise. If you wanted noise with some amplitude profile (waxing and waning as in the orange and green curves in your plot), one could probably extend noise_generator to modify the noise amplitude with time in similar ways as for the inhomogeneous_poisson_generator. I am not certain if NESTML already provides all that is need to do this or if one still would need to implement this on the C++ level. Note that noise_generator provides stepwise constant noise with Gaussian-distributed values, not strictly white noise, and is thus dependent on the step size.
