unmyelinated_results.block

unmyelinated_results.block(position_key=None, t_start=0, t_stop=0)

check if an axon is blocked or not. The simulation has to include the test spike. This function will look for the test spike initiation and check the propagation

Parameters:

  • key (str) – name of the key to consider, if None is specified, the rasterized is automatically chose with preference for filtered-rasterized keys.

  • t_start (float) – time at which the test spikes can occur, in ms. By default 0

  • t_stop (float) – maximum time at which the spikes are processed, in ms. If zero is specified, the spike detection is applied to the full signal duration. By default set to 0.

Returns:

flag – True if the axon is blocked, False if not blocked and None if the test spike does not cross the stimulation near point in the simulation (no possibility to check for the axon state)

Return type:

bool or None
