The perfect integrator driven by Poisson input and its approximation in the diffusion limit

Neurons and Cognition 2022-05-18 v2

Abstract

In this note we consider the perfect integrator driven by Poisson process input. We derive its equilibrium and response properties and contrast them to the approximations obtained by applying the diffusion approximation. In particular, the probability density in the vicinity of the threshold differs, which leads to altered response properties of the system in equilibrium.
