DivInE-model for MT neurons

From Master of Neuroscience Wiki

This model is also termed DivInE-model, since it describes the adaptive response properties of MT neurons by means of divisive normalization, for more detailed info see also this paper:

τedAe(t)dt=Ae(t)+ge(I(t)Ai(t)+σ)

τidAi(t)dt=Ai(t)+gi(I(t))

Here, gX are gain functions for x{e,i} with gX(I)=mX(IθX) for I>θX, and 0 otherwise, while Ae and Ai could be interpreted as internal activations. Default parameters: τe=10 ms, τi=40 ms, θ{e,i}=0, me=mi=1nA1, I=1 nA, σ=0.25. From the activation Ae, an output rate can be derived via r(t)=r0Ae(t) with, let’s say, r0=100 Hz.
