The SINABS documentation makes it clear that during training we need to reset the states of the spiking neural network layers since they are stateful.
In the SINABS docs ( https://sinabs.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.9/tutorials/nmnist.html) this is done via the sinabs.reset_states() method.
In the sinabs-dynapcnn documentation ( https://synsense.gitlab.io/sinabs-dynapcnn/getting_started/notebooks/nmnist_quick_start.html) the call to sinabs.reset_states() is missing, and instead a manual detach() is run on the buffer of the stateful layers.
Are these two methods equivalent?

Hi, Hovren. These two methods are not equivalent; 'reset' will set vmem to 0, but 'detach' won't.
