[nengo-user] Problem with "direct mode"

[Markus Lohmeyer]

Dear nengo-team, dear nengo-users,

I encountered a problem regarding the "direct mode". While I tried to
spare some computational expense on my computer I got the impression
that "gating" (using gates in the BG-Thalamus-System) is not possible
when one uses "direct mode". Every gated ensemble or network array
behaves like an ungated one in "direct mode". Can you confirm this? If
so, do you know a workaround for this? Since there are many ensembles in
my model which are gated "direct mode" looses a lot of its usefulness
for me.

Sincerely yours,

Markus
