norse.torch.LIFCell

class norse.torch.LIFCell(p: norse.torch.functional.lif.LIFParameters = LIFParameters(tau_syn_inv=tensor(200.), tau_mem_inv=tensor(100.), v_leak=tensor(0.), v_th=tensor(1.), v_reset=tensor(0.), method='super', alpha=tensor(100.)), **kwargs)

Module that computes a single euler-integration step of a leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron-model without recurrence and without time.

More specifically it implements one integration step of the following ODE

\[\begin{align*} \dot{v} &= 1/\tau_{\text{mem}} (v_{\text{leak}} - v + i) \ \dot{i} &= -1/\tau_{\text{syn}} i \end{align*}\]

together with the jump condition

\[z = \Theta(v - v_{\text{th}})\]

and transition equations

\[\begin{align*} v &= (1-z) v + z v_{\text{reset}} \end{align*}\]

Example:

>>> data = torch.zeros(5, 2) # 5 batches, 2 neurons
>>> l = LIFCell(2, 4)
>>> l(data) # Returns tuple of (Tensor(5, 4), LIFState)

Arguments:

p (LIFParameters): Parameters of the LIF neuron model. sparse (bool): Whether to apply sparse activation functions (True) or not (False). Defaults to False. dt (float): Time step to use. Defaults to 0.001.
