%Notes for Dr. Blackwell from Sriram:
%Different from InpurwithCorrelation: downfreq:0.1 and using makeDaughterInsignal so has both down and up states
%1. What this file does:
% This file makes the input trains that would serve as the cortical and fs input
% for the SPcells. The duplicate and unique input signals are now combined in
% the genesis file SimFile.g. This file also has a variable which contains 
% unique random numbers, the function of which is described in the SimFile.g
% file. The noise and inout signals will be combined in this file for the 
% next round once the details of the input connection is finalized.
