Campbell and Siegert approximation for estimating the firing rate of a neuron

The Campbell and Siegert approximation is a method used in computational neuroscience to estimate the firing rate of a neuron given a certain input. This approximation is particularly useful for analyzing the firing behavior of neurons that follow a leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model or similar models under the influence of stochastic input currents.
