class nineml.abstraction_layer.component.EventPort(name, mode='send', reduce_op=None)

EventPort

An EventPort is a port that can transmit and receive discrete events at points in time. For example, an integrate-and-fire could ‘send’ events to notify other components that it had fired; or synapses could receive events to notify them to provide current to a post-synaptic neuron.
