Nengo_extra in nengoDL

[xchoo]

Hi @Choozi,

@Choozi

Is it possible to use nengo_extras neurons in nengoDL?

In theory, it is possible to use the neurons from NengoExtras in a NengoDL simulation, but it would require some work to do so. You would need to re-write the neuron dynamics in TensorFlow code since NengoDL uses TensorFlow to simulate the neuron models.

Here are some forum threads that may be helpful to you if you wish to pursue this approach:

• Adding a custom neuron type operator to nengo DL
• My custom object doesn't work with nengo_dl.Simulator

@Choozi

are there any different neuron types available in nengoDL? I could not find it in the documentation.

Yes! NengoDL does support multiple neuron types. You can find documentation on the (default) supported neuron types here! NengoDL also supports all of the neurons that are available natively in Nengo (documentation here).
