A dynamic neural field mechanism for self-organization
Lucian Alecu, Hervé Frezza-Buet · BMC Neuroscience · 2009
Dynamic neural fields (DNF) are a mathematical formalism aiming to describe the spatio-temporal evolution of the electrical potential of a population of neurons. The paradigm, first introduced by Wilson and Cowan [1] and then extended by Amari [2], is intended to model the activity of a cortical population of neurons. The neuronal activity of the population (or field) is implicitly described by the expression of one or more non-linear
