"... The authors have ... computationally manageable networks of moderate size consisting of 1,000 to 3,000 neurons with multiple intrinsic and synaptic properties. Experiments on these simulations demonstrated the presence of epileptiform behavior in the form of repetitive high-intensity population events (clonic behavior) or latch-up with near maximal activity (tonic behavior). ... Several simulations revealed the importance of random coincident inputs to shift a network from a low-activation to a high-activation epileptiform state. Finally, a simulated anticonvulsant acting on excitability tended to preferentially decrease tonic activity."

COMMENT
randwd   randomly chooses n bits to set to 1
hamming  v.hamming(v1) is hamming distance between 2 vecs
flipbits v.flipbits(scratch,num) flips num rand chosen bits
flipbalbits v.flipbalbits(scratch,num) balanced flipping
vpr      v.vpr prints out vector as 1 (x[i]>0) or 0 (x[i]<=0)
fac      not vec related - returns factorial
logfac   not vec related - returns log factorial
vseed    set some C level randomizer seeds
slope(num) does a linear regression to find the slope, assuming num=timestep of vector
vslope(num) does a linear regression to find the slope, assuming num=timestep of vector
stats(num) does a linear regression, assuming num=timestep of vector
vstats(v2) does a linear regression, using v2 as the x-coords
