Event based reporting

[jorblancoa]

Description

In the current implementation, soma, synapse, and compartment reports are recorded at every reporting timestep. This approach generates a substantial amount of data, especially for large circuits. To address this, we propose investigating event-based reporting functionality.

Proposed Feature

1. Conditional Recording: Allow users to specify conditions for recording data. For example, record only when there is a significant change in voltage (e.g., > 10%).

2. Point Process Activation Reports: Provide an optional report on the activation of point processes (synapses). This report should be similar to the spikes file and include the following columns:

• Postsynaptic Neuron GID

• Synapse ID

• Time of Activation

• Release Probability at Time of Activation

• Decision: Release or No Release

These enhancements aim to reduce data volume and provide more targeted insights into circuit behavior.

Use Cases

• Efficient data management for large-scale simulations.

• Detailed analysis of synaptic activity and point process dynamics.
