local time
Supplement: The biological time the individual neuron’s operation that begins when their first synaptic input arrives
ML
Machine Learning
PID controller
Supplement: A proportional–integral–derivative controller is a feedback-based control loop mechanism commonly used to manage machines and processes that require continuous control and automatic adjustment.
PID
Proportional-Integral-Derivative
potential-accelerated speed
Supplement: In biological systems some components acquire charges and form surfaces having higher potential, which act as an electrostatic accelerator. Only the component in the direcion of the field gradient due to charges fixed to those surfaces changes, strongly.
potential-assisted speed
Supplement: In biological systems, the ions contribute an electrostatic component to the forces acting on an ion, so the ions increase their speed in the field of other ions. Only the component in the direcion of the field gradient due to the distribution of freely moving charges changes, moderately.
PSP
Post-Synaptic Potential
setpoint
Supplement: A Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) maintains a process variable (PV)—the membrane potential—at a specific, desired target value known as the setpoint (SP).
