No I do not. What scared me at first, was the concatenation of current
clamp and voltage clamp model outputs into the same array and then
plotting them together on the same graph which is what I think is going
on. One would expect current clamp to measure voltage and voltage clamp
to measure current. Plotting them together wouldn't make much sense
unless you want a nice plot of your command signal.

In cell_dynamics_clamp.m you can see that the voltage derivative is set
to 0 ( voltage clamp ) only for times less than 0.05, which is
presumably enough time to switch limit cycles, but then it looks like
the model returns to current clamp. 

The return to current clamp is the second thing that scared me, because
it might throw you off if you weren't expecting it.

No problem. You should try the changes I suggested. It took only a few
seconds and octave produced plots that are very much like those in
figure 8 of that paper.
