Detailed Description

A leaky integrate & fire neuron, used by standard winner-take-all (WTA).

This is the integrate & fire neuron used in conjunction with WTA which is a 2D array of LeakyIntFire. It has a slightly more complicated Euler equation then LeakyIntegrator used by SM but the basic idea is the same. All parameters are in MKSA (SI) units (i.e., volts, amperes, siemens, etc). This neuron uses an Euler integration of the following form:

At each time step,

\[ V \leftarrow V + \frac{\delta t}{C} \left(I - G_{leak}(V - E_{leak}) - G_{ex}(V - E_{ex}) - G_{inh}(V - E_{inh})\right) \]

V is also clamped to never become smaller than $E_{inh}$ and a spike is generated when $V \ge V_{th}$ (and V is then reset to zero).
