Attractor Bump Model with Two Maps Copyright (c) 1999 by David S. Touretzky, and (c) 2000-2002 by David S. Touretzky and Marios Savvides. Follows the equations in: Goodridge, J.P. and Touretzky, D. S. (2000) Modeling attractor deformation in the rodent head direction system. Journal of Neurophysiology, 83(6):3402-3410. Original version created April, 1999 by David S. Touretzky. Modified June 2000 by David S. Touretzky and Marios Savvides to overlay two attractor maps and allow external input to make the bump jump from one map to the other. ================================================================ Instructions for use: This software requires MATLAB version 5 or higher. To run the model, type "twomap". Mouse on one of the flanks of the bump, in either map, to supply external input and make the attractor bump move. The height of the mouse above the x-axis determines the magnitude of the external input. Multiple mouse clicks have additive effects. Turn on "Input Hold" to suspend decay of external input. To get the bump to switch maps, supply strong external input anywhere in the other map. (You may want to use Input Hold for this.) This will cause the bump in the current map to collapse as a new bump forms in the second map. ================================================================ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
