Each of the created objects has several fields which usually
correspond to a parameter of the model which is implemented by the
class of the object. To display for example all
fields of the LifNeuron object we
can use the command
Some of the fields are parameters of the model (Cm,
Rm, ...) which can be modified (denoted by the '=')
others are internal state variables (Vm in this case) which
can not be changed (denoted by the ':') and yet other provide
auxiliary information (nSpikes, nIncoming, ...). See
the Class Reference for details about fields
of a particular object.
Suppose we want to change the absolut refractory period of the LIF
neuron n to be of length 2ms and add a noisy current of
50nA. This can be done with the command
