Q: Structured input in Poisson?

[kingjr]

Thanks for this fantastic package.

It seems that above certain value, the poisson encoder stops generating spikes. Is this expected because firing frequency is above sampling rate? I'm puzzled by the fact that top neurons keep firing, although it should be random.

from bindsnet.encoding import poisson
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import torch

plt.matshow(poisson(torch.tensor(range(100)).float()*100., 200))
plt.show()

Hi @kingjr,

This is a good catch. I'm going to try to fix this today! Feel free to open a PR if you figure out a solution yourself.

It appears the bug was introduced since we upgraded to PyTorch 1.0.0. But, I was able to fix it!
