Noise Generator

Some Simbrain components allow noise to be added to their value. Noise is generated using the following fields:

Distribution: The probability density function that the random values follow. Currently Gaussian or uniform.

Upper bound: If the distribution is uniform, this represents the upper bound of the distribution. If the distribution is Gaussian and clipping is being used, this cuts off the upper tail of the distribution.

Lower bound: If the distribution is uniform, this represents the lower bound of the distribution. If the distribution is Gaussian and clipping is being used, this cuts off the lower tail of the distribution.

Mean value: This is the mean of the Gaussian distribution.

Standard deviation: This is the standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution.

Use clipping: If true, upper and lower bounds are used as described above.
