Can traditional STDP weight updating rule be applied in this model? #14

Hello, thanks a lot for the library! I am current trying to realize R-STDP with emerging devices, and is wondering if traditional weight updating rule in STDP can be applied in this model. That is, the _deltaw calculated by STDP/R-STDP being proportional to _exp(-deltat/tau), instead of proportional to w(1-w). Is it possible for the algorithm to work like that? (not a native English speaker here, i apologize if anything conveyed being ambiguous)

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the library. It is possible to implement the other update rule. You need to redefine the weight update function with your own formulation.
