Computational neuroscientists use stim files to inject current clamps or synaptic input into simulated neurons. The NEST simulator, for example, uses a specific stim file format to define spike times for populations of neurons.
| Error | Likely cause | Fix | |--------|--------------|------| | No output | Missing trigger sync | Check external trigger pin & polarity | | Muscle twitch too strong | Charge density too high | Reduce amplitude or pulse width | | Device rejects file | Wrong delimiter (tab vs comma) | Convert to device‑required format (see manual) | | Electrode overheating | Repetition rate > max | Add cool‑down intervals (0‑amplitude blocks) | stim files
