Pseudocode No The paper describes the learning rules and dynamics using mathematical equations and prose but does not include any clearly labeled pseudocode blocks or algorithms.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper states that it 'simulated a firing rate network of ten neurons that learn to remember a one-dimensional, temporally uncorrelated white noise stimulus'. This indicates a generated stimulus rather than a publicly available dataset with concrete access information.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a simulation with a generated white noise stimulus but does not specify any training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for simulations, such as CPU/GPU models or memory specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list any specific software dependencies with version numbers, such as programming languages, libraries, or frameworks used for the simulations.
Experiment Setup Yes We initialized all feedforward weights to one, whereas the matrices Ωf and Ωd were initialised by drawing numbers from centered Gaussian distributions with variance 1 and 0.2 respectively. All matrices were then divided by N 2 = 100. Firing rates were constrained to be positive.
