class sPyBlocks.neural_oscillator.MultipleNeuralAsyncOscillator(n_components, sim, global_params, neuron_params, std_conn)

This class allows to create multiple Asynchronous Oscillator (Switch) blocks of the same type.

__init__(n_components, sim, global_params, neuron_params, std_conn)

Constructor of the class.

Parameters

n_components (int) – The number of blocks to create.
sim – The simulator package.
global_params (dict) – A dictionary of type str:int which must include the “min_delay” keyword. This keyword is likely to have the time period associated with it as a value.
neuron_params (dict) – A dictionary of type str:int containing the neuron parameters.
std_conn (sim.StaticSynapse) – The connection to be used for the construction of the blocks. Commonly, its weight is 1.0 and its delay is equal to the timestep.

Connects the output neurons of the blocks to an output population.

Parameters

output_population (sim.Population, sim.PopulationView, sim.Assembly, list) – A PyNN object or a list of PyNN objects containing the population to connect the output neurons to.
conn (sim.StaticSynapse) – The connection to use. std_conn (class parameter) by default.
conn_all – Unused.
rcp_type (str) – A string indicating the receptor type of the connections (excitatory or inhibitory). “Excitatory” by default.
ini_pop_indexes (list) – Unused.
end_pop_indexes – A list of indices used to select objects from the output population.
component_indexes (list) – A list of indices used to select components from the list of components.

Returns

The number of connections that have been created.
