[NEST Users] Re: All-to-all connection and gating variable

Dear all, I've continued fiddling with the model, and I think I am misunderstanding the way I plug the spikes into the model. What I need is to add to the synaptic gating variable the spikes as a simple count of the number of firing neurons. That is

sum(1 if neuron fired)

where the sum runs over all neurons, or at least all neurons that fired. Basically, this is the same as asking the NUMBER of neurons that fired. Is convolve(delta(t), spikes) the way to achieve it? thanks!!! gus.-
