Single neuron fI curve

In this simple example, we perform a very simple and common experiment: determining the responses of a single neuron to injected current at different amplitudes. The specific setup is illustrated below

In this simple setup, one single generator, a ’step_current_generator’ is used and a single neuron composes the whole network.

To run this example execute:

python main.py -f projects/examples/parameters/single_neuron_fI.py -c single_neuron_fIcurve --extra plot=True display=True save=True

The output should display the neuron's fI curve, as well as a sample of its response (to the first current amplitude that drives the neuron to fire). There are two additional plots that refer to an adaptation index, to determine the degree of irregularity in the inter-spike intervals (primarily for neurons that display an adaptive firing pattern).
