Resulting optimized parameters for the feedforward thalamocortical network model (Eq. 8) incorporating feedforward 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 for experiments 4–6 the parameter was fixed to zero in the optimization procedure. Also, for experiment 3 the listed value 100 ms for corresponds to the maximum allowed value for this parameter.
