Detailed Description

This E-STDP curve is sensitive to spike timing at the pre-post side. The parameters (_alphaPlus, _tauPlus, gamma) specifies the curve at the pre-post side. The curve is basically an exponential curve, which specified by (_alphaPlus, _tauPlus), transformed by gamma. The value of gamma is the turn-over point. The STDP function at the pre-post side is governed by the following equation:

$STDP(t) = \begin{cases} \alpha^+(1-(1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau^+}})(\frac{1+e^{-\frac{\gamma}{\tau^+}}}{1-e^{-\frac{\gamma}{\tau^+}}})) & \text{if } t < \gamma \\ -\alpha^+ e^{-\frac{t}{\tau^+}} & \text{if } t \geq \gamma \end{cases}$

Simply, if t is larger than gamma, the STDP function is the mirrored exponential curve along x-axis. If t is smaller than gamma, the STDP function is the exponential curve stretched to the turn-over point. The parameters (_alphaMinus, _tauMinus) specifies the exponential curve at the post-pre side. This curve requires _alphaMinus to be a negative value.

Note: This curve can be applied to E-STDP only.
