Short Term Synaptic Plasticity

[sidharthanup]

Introduce Short Term Plasticity (STP) - Short Term Facilitation (STF) and Short Term Depression (STD) (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Short-term_synaptic_plasticity) as part of the neuron dynamics (Or another model). Both these phenomena model different PSP responses based on the time interval between two presynaptic spikes.

Wonderful! thank you for the nice addition #443 to BindsNET

Just a small note of interest to you, @sidharthanup, a different (Python JAX-based) computational neuroscience library ngc-learn ( https://github.com/NACLab/ngc-learn ) implements short-term plasticity and can simulate STF and STD (as is shown in one of its tutorials). Just thought this might of interest as efficient implementations of STP are not always easy to come by but ngc-learn offers one of them for nice experimentation =)

Thank you for advertising your package. This code has already merged back at 2021.
This ticket will be close.
