# brainpy.rates.ThresholdLinearModel#

class brainpy.rates.ThresholdLinearModel(size, tau_e=0.02, tau_i=0.01, beta_e=0.066, beta_i=0.351, noise_e=0.0, noise_i=0.0, e_initializer=ZeroInit, i_initializer=ZeroInit, seed=None, keep_size=False, name=None, mode=None, input_var=True)[source]#

A threshold linear rate model.

The threshold linear rate model is given by [1]

\begin{split}\begin{aligned} &\tau_{E} \frac{d \nu_{E}}{d t}=-\nu_{E}+\beta_{E}\left[I_{E}\right]_{+} \\ &\tau_{I} \frac{d \nu_{I}}{d t}=-\nu_{I}+\beta_{I}\left[I_{I}\right]_{+} \end{aligned}\end{split}

where $$\left[I_{E}\right]_{+}=\max \left(I_{E}, 0\right)$$. $$v_E$$ and $$v_I$$ denote the firing rates of the excitatory and inhibitory populations respectively, $$\tau_E$$ and $$\tau_I$$ are the corresponding intrinsic time constants.
