We consider a continuum model of electrical signals in the human cortex, which takes the form of a system of semilinear, hyperbolic partial differential equations for the inhibitory and excitatory membrane potentials and the synaptic inputs. The coupling of these components is represented by sigmoidal and quadratic nonlinearities. We consider these equations on a square domain with periodic boundary conditions, in the vicinity of the primary transition from a stable equilibrium to time-periodic…

Transient neocortical gamma oscillations induced by neuronal response modulation
TLDR
A mean field model of spatio-temporal electroencephalographic activity in the neocortex is used to computationally study the emergence of neocortical gamma oscillations as a result of neuronal response modulation and it is shown that Gamma oscillations emerge robustly in the solutions of the model and transition to beta oscillations through coordinated modulation of the responsiveness of inhibitory and excitatory neuronal populations.
A Computational Study of a Spatiotemporal Mean Field Model Capturing the Emergence of Alpha and Gamma Rhythmic Activity in the Neocortex
TLDR
It is shown that α oscillations in the solutions of the model appear globally across the neocortex, whereas γ oscillations can emerge locally as a result of a bifurcation in the dynamics of themodel.
On the Global Dynamics of an Electroencephalographic Mean Field Model of the Neocortex
TLDR
Existence, uniqueness, and regularity of weak and strong solutions of the model are established in appropriate function spaces, and the associated initial-boundary value problems are proved to be well-posed.

A spatially continuous mean field theory of electrocortical activity
TLDR
The results suggest that the classically described alpha may be instantiated in a number of qualitatively distinct dynamical regimes, all of which depend on the integrity of inhibitory-inhibitory population interactions.
Travelling waves in models of neural tissue: from localised structures to periodic waves
We consider travelling waves (fronts, pulses and periodics) in spatially extended one dimensional neural field models. We demonstrate for an excitatory field with linear adaptation that, in addition…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of continuum neural fields
TLDR
This work surveys recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of continuum neural fields, an important example of spatially extended excitable systems with nonlocal interactions.
A mathematical theory of the functional dynamics of cortical and thalamic nervous tissue
TLDR
It is shown that this particular mode reproduces some of the phenomenology of visual psychophysics, including spatial modulation transfer function determinations, certain metacontrast effects, and the spatial hysteresis phenomenon found in stereopsis.

On conductance-based neural field models
TLDR
A conductance-based neural field model that combines biologically realistic synaptic dynamics—based on transmembrane currents—with neural field equations, describing the propagation of spikes over the cortical surface is introduced.
Large-scale neural dynamics: Simple and complex
Large-scale model of mammalian thalamocortical systems
TLDR
The model exhibits behavioral regimes of normal brain activity that were not explicitly built-in but emerged spontaneously as the result of interactions among anatomical and dynamic processes, including spontaneous activity, sensitivity to changes in individual neurons, emergence of waves and rhythms, and functional connectivity on different scales.
