Resulting optimized parameters for the recurrent thalamocortical network model (Eq. 2) incorporating feedforward excitation and recurrent excitation and inhibition. The listed parameter values correspond to the mean of fitted parameter values from 25 selected models giving essentially the same error (see Materials and Methods). The standard deviations are only listed if they exceed the last digit of the mean. Note that the value of is included to illustrate the relative constancy of the ratio of the fitted values for and .
