nest.ResetKernel()
create two test layers
pos = nest.spatial.grid(shape=[30, 30], extent=[3., 3.])
create and connect two populations
a = nest.Create('iaf_psc_alpha', positions=pos)
b = nest.Create('iaf_psc_alpha', positions=pos)
cdict = {'rule': 'pairwise_bernoulli',
'p': nest.spatial_distributions.gaussian(nest.spatial.distance,
std=0.5),
'mask': {'circular': {'radius': 3.0}}}
nest.Connect(a, b, cdict)
plot targets of neurons in different grid locations
plot targets of two source neurons into same figure, with mask use different colors
for src_index, color, cmap in [(30 * 15 + 15, 'blue', 'Blues'), (0, 'green', 'Greens')]:
# obtain node id for center
src = a[src_index:src_index + 1]
