mercurial.core.sensory_transduction module

Realistic sensory transduction models with empirical parameters.

class mercurial.core.sensory_transduction.AuditoryTransductionPipeline(hair_cell_params: HairCellParams | None = None)

Bases: object

Hair cell transduction pipeline.

Methods

step

step(dt: float, displacement: float) → float

class mercurial.core.sensory_transduction.BipolarCell(tau_b: float = 0.01, on_center: bool = True)

Bases: object

Bipolar cell with ON and OFF pathways.

Methods

step

step(dt: float, V_photoreceptor: float) → float

class mercurial.core.sensory_transduction.HairCell(params: HairCellParams | None = None, **kwargs)

Bases: object

Hair cell mechano‑transduction with fast and slow adaptation. Uses empirical parameters.

Methods

open_probability
step

open_probability(x: float) → float

step(dt: float, displacement: float) → float

class mercurial.core.sensory_transduction.Photoreceptor(params: PhotoreceptorParams | None = None, **kwargs)

Bases: object
