=================================

Phase locking in leaky integrate-and-fire model
-----------------------------------------------
Fig. 2A from:
Brette R (2004). Dynamics of one-dimensional spiking neuron models.
J Math Biol 48(1): 38-56.

This shows the phase-locking structure of a LIF driven by a sinusoidal
current. When the current crosses the threshold (a<3), the model
almost always phase locks (in a measure-theoretical sense).
