+A Biophysical observation model for field potentials of networks of  
+leaky-integrate-and-fire neurons.

+
+*******************************
+
+This python code, Gunft6.py, requires and runs under the Brian simulator.
+
+## Note for developers:
+
+- **Note 1:** As it stands, the code is not efficient (fast) as it does not use the facilities vector processing and uses a lot of for-loops which is not efficient. So it can be improved.  
+- **Note 2:** Periodic thalamic input is not yet implemented.
+
+*****************************
+
+1. This is a network of 5000 neurons, 80% of which excitatory, and 20% inhibitory.  
+2. The network is randomly connected (between pairs) with connection probability = 0.2.  
+3. Both Excitatory and Inhibitory neurons are described via LIF model.  
+4. The currents are double exponential, but the excitatory currents can receive external noise.
