Key Issue Given a large-scale distributed anatomical architecture composed of functionally differentiated areas, how can a spatiotemporal network dynamics arise that is capable of capturing detailed cognitive architectures and dynamics? Foci of this session • Neuronal population dynamics (local) • Functionally relevant large-scale network dynamics (global)
Low-dimensional description of population dynamics Anatomical and functional architectures based on a distributed population variable (x,t) Local architectures: Can we substitute the detailed neuronal dynamics Q(t) by a lower-dimensional population variable such as a field (x,t) ?
