Network Files: A network file is a file with a ".net" suffix. The first line in the file is # Neurons: with the number of neurons defined in the file. After that follows the neuron definitions (neuron-statement *).
Neuron-statements:
The neuron-statements tell NeuronetExperimenter everything it needs to know to make the individual neurons
neuron-statement:
Neuron ID: range-statement
Note: Neuron IDs: is also acceptable
After this, all items can be in any order and can have any number of repeats
<Neuron Name: {neuron name}>
<associated-name-for-user Connection(s) To: connection-statement*>
Initial conditions:
variable-statement*
Associated Variable Values:
variable-statement*
range-statement: Either single number or number1-number2; ie. 1 or 1-30. All range statements in Network files are 1-indexed
connection-statement: One of
(range-statement<,latency-statement<,connectivity-statement<,R | S<,R | S>>>>) OR
range-statement
Placing the R in a connection statement indicates allow reciprocal connections
Placing the S in a connection statement indicates allow self connections
If latency-statement is not given, latency for the neuron is assumed to be 0.0
If connectivity-statement is not given, connectivity is assumed to be all to all with no reciprocal or self connections, except if R or S is present, in which case those take precedent
latency-statement:
Either a number (for all connected neurons) or a filename (in quotes) or nothing (ie. if you want to make a connectivity statement and use the default for latency).
connectivity-statement:
A filename (in quotes) or nothing
function-statement:
Any of the following (all arguments are double):
atan(arg1)
atan2(arg1, arg2) quadrant-aware atan
acos(arg1) arc-cos
asin(arg1) arc-sin
tan(arg1)
sin(arg1)
cos(arg1)
tanh(arg1)
cosh(arg1)
sinh(arg1)
sqrt(arg1)
exp(arg1)
log(arg1) natural log
log(arg1,arg2) log with base of arg2
min(arg1,arg2)
max(arg1,arg2)
heav(arg1) heaviside, 0 if arg1 < 0, 1 if arg1 >= 0
heav(arg1,arg2) heaviside, 0 if arg1 < arg2, 1 if arg1 >= arg2
uniform() uniformly-distributed random number between 0-1
uniform(arg1,arg2) uniformly-distributed random number between arg1 and arg2
gauss() normally distributed random number with mean 0.0 and standard deviation of 1.0
gauss(arg1,arg2) normally distributed random number with mean arg1 and standard deviation of arg2
gauss(arg1,arg2,arg3) same as previous with arg3 specifying a minimum bound for the number
gauss(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4) same as previous with arg4 specifying a maximum bound for the number
