Dear all,

I would like to receive a continuous stream of data via ‘music_cont_in_proxy’ and use it as input current to a neuron. I used ‘iaf_cond_alpha_mc’  as model neuron because I could specify the input that should target the neuron via the receptor_type that accepts current {‘receptor_type’: 7} (’soma_curr’: 7) and connected the ‘music_cont_in_proxy’ via this receptor to the neuron. Currently, for testing purposes, I used ‘constsource’ music binary continuous data stream, which is also used in NEST guides (https://bit.ly/2xBNfpO). As I imagined, it didn’t work maybe because the output type of the music port doesn’t match the input type of the receptor type (’the following error’). Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem (that I can use ‘music_cont_in_proxy’ as current source)? Thank you very much in advance.
