Leaky Integrate and Fire (LIF)

The :class:~sinabs.layers.LIF layer. This neuron integrates the input and decays its state at every time step.

const_current = torch.ones((1, 100, 1)) * 0.03

# By default, no synaptic dynamics are used. We can enable that by setting tau_syn. Note that instead of a constant current, we now provide input only at the first time step.
