spiketools.sim.utils.apply_refractory_times

spiketools.sim.utils.apply_refractory_times(spike_times, refractory_time)

Apply a refractory period to simulated spike times.

Parameters:

spike_times1d array

Spike times.

refractory_timefloat

The duration of the refractory period, after a spike, in seconds.

Returns:

spike_times1d array

Spike times, with refractory period applied.

Examples

Apply a 0.003 seconds refractory period to a set of spike times:

>>> spike_times = np.array([0.512, 1.241, 1.242, 1.751, 2.124])
>>> apply_refractory_times(spike_times, 0.003)
array([0.512, 1.241, 1.751, 2.124])
