Description

The following code models an integrate-and-fire neuron receiving input spikes through an alpha synapse:
Matlab:
alpha_neuron.m
Python:
alpha_neuron.py

Vary the value of tpeak from 0.5 ms to 10 ms in steps of 0.5 ms and observe how this influences the output of the neuron for the fixed input spike train used in this code.

Plot the output spike count as a function of tpeak for the given input spike train and explain how the value of tpeak influences the firing rate of the neuron.
