braintools.input.TimeShifted

class braintools.input.TimeShifted(input_obj, time_shift)

Time-shifted version of an input.

Shifts an input forward (delay) or backward (advance) in time. The total duration remains the same, with zero-padding added as needed.

Parameters:

• input_obj (Input) – The input to shift.

• time_shift (float | Quantity) – Amount to shift. Positive = delay (shift right), negative = advance (shift left).

Examples

>>> pulse = Step([1], [200 * u.ms], 500 * u.ms)
>>>
>>> # Delay by 100ms (pulse now at 300ms)
>>> delayed = TimeShifted(pulse, 100 * u.ms)
>>>
>>> # Advance by 50ms (pulse now at 150ms)
>>> advanced = TimeShifted(pulse, -50 * u.ms)
>>>
>>> # Usually created via shift() method
>>> delayed = pulse.shift(100 * u.ms)

__init__(input_obj, time_shift)

Initialize time-shifted input.

Parameters:

• input_obj (Input) – The input to shift.

• time_shift (float | Quantity) – Amount to shift (positive = delay, negative = advance).

Methods

__init__(input_obj, time_shift)	Initialize time-shifted input.
apply(func)	Apply a custom function to the input.
clip([min_val, max_val])	Clip the input values to a range.
generate()	Generate the shifted input.
repeat(n_times)	Repeat the input pattern n times.
scale(factor)	Scale the input by a factor.
shift(time_shift)	Shift the input in time.
smooth(tau)	Apply exponential smoothing to the input.

Attributes

dt	Get the time step from global environment.
n_steps	Get the number of time steps.
shape	Get the shape of the input array.
