I am working on the file "Converting non-spiking neurons to spiking neurons.ipynb".
The first task is:
This notebook goes through an example of a general technique for converting a non-spiking neuron model into a spiking neuron model.  This technique is from https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.03553
We start with a particular neuron model we want to convert.  This could be anything at all, but here we're going to use a leaky integrator model defined like this:
Can you write Python program for it?

#Here is the Python program you requested.

class LeakyIntegrator:
    def __init__(self, threshold, tau_rc=20):
        self.threshold = threshold
        self.tau_rc = tau_rc
        self.v = 0
        
    def step(self, J):
        if self.v > self.threshold:
            output = self.v - self.threshold
        else:
            output = 0
            
        dv = -self.v + output + J
        self.v += dv / self.tau_rc
        return output
