Dear Peter,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes I am working on DCM for fMRI and I have found the best model for effective connectivity between 3 regions, then I have simulated the same connectivity model for a spiking network model which originally was designed for the prefrontal cortex. Each region consists of 1000 neurons and it gives the spiking times of each neuron, then I converted the spiking times of the neurons to have the firing rate vs. the simulation time (in order to have the same output as predicted data from DCM). For the input to this simulated network, I can only determine the frequency of it, that is why I am also looking for the frequency to enter the same strength of input as my experimental tasks! (as at the moment the timeseries in DCM.U.u has only the value of 1 and 0 ). Then I need to match this time series with time series from DCM analysis to implement experimental tasks within spiking network model afterward. I hope this was enough and looking forward to your more feedbacks about my questions.
Best wishes,
Sadjad Sadeghi
