Neural fields

Neural fields are a phenomenological way of describing the activity of population of neurons by delay integrodifferential equations. This continuous approximation turns out to be very useful to model large brain areas such as those involved in visual perception. The mathematical properties of these equations and their solutions are still imperfectly known, in particular in the presence of different time scales and of noise.
