Fig. 5: Results obtained using Mackwood et al.’s rule.

a Convergence of the firing rate to stable self-sustained dynamics. Note that, in this case, there is no inhibitory target. b Convergence of the weight values. wii and wee are fixed and thus do not show any dynamics under this rule. c Initial and final firing rate values over many trial runs. \(\bar{E}\) mostly converges to the target, while, unlike with cross-homeostasis, the final \(\bar{I}\) is left to vary freely (n = 34).
