Getting Started

In this section we will introduce PCSIM by means of a simple example. We will use PCSIM to simulate a model where a leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron (LIF neuron) is driven by a (hand made) spike train which is transmitted by a dynamic synapse.

The full code of the following example is contained as the file first_model.py in the example directory of the PCSIM package.
