Hi all,

I’m relatively new to NEST as well and would like to provide custom input to neurons over the course of the simulation. I’m trying to model a ring-attractor network that accepts continuously changing input (different neurons receive input over the course of the simulation). I specifically want to do this to update the neural inputs as I simulate animal movement in space (see https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2102157118 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2102157118 for details). Is there a way I can continuously change the neurons in the network that receive external input?

Thank You.

Vivek
