Connections within and across both populations are created at random. Both neuron populations receive Poissonian background input. The spike output of 500 neurons from each population are recorded. Neurons are modeled as leaky integrate-and-fire neurons with voltage jump synapses. Spike times are not constrained to the discrete time grid. The model is based on T.P. Vogels & L.F. Abbott Signal Propagation and Logic Gating in Networks of Integrate-and-Fire Neurons Journal of Neuroscience, 2005, vol 25, pp 10786-10795.
