This is the readme for the models associated with: A Spatially Extended Model for Macroscopic Spike-Wave Discharges Peter N. Taylor & Gerold Baier J. Comp. Neurosci. 2011 This code was contributed by peter.taylor at postgrad.manchester.ac.uk Descriptions and usage for the scripts and functions are: ==> 1d/taylor_baier_one_dim.m This code reproduces the SWD in figure 3b of the manuscript. Usage: At the MATLAB command window type >> taylor_baier_one_dim ==> 1location/taylor_baier.m This code reproduces the SWD in figure 2c of the manuscript. Usage: At the MATLAB command window type >> taylor_baier ==> 1d/hatbuilder.m This code is an easy way to see what the hats look like for given parameter values. Also shows the area under the hat. Usage: At the MATLAB command window type >> hatbuilder ==> 1d/mexhat.m Returns a set of weights according to a mexican hat function distribution. Requires input parameters (x) which is the location of the top of the 'hat', boundary which specifies the range assuming x=0 (assumed to be symmetrical, and interval to set the resolution.
