Neurodynamics, also called Neural Field Theory uses differential equations to describe activity patterns in bulk neural matter. Research for neurodynamics involves the interdisciplinary areas of statistical and nonlinear physics and sensory neurobiology. On the physics side, topics of interest include information measures, oscillators, stochastic resonance, unstable periodic orbits, and pattern formation in ensembles of agents.


The formative papers for this field include the following:


Rashevsky, N. (1938) Mathematical Biophysics. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.


Weiner, N. (1948) Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine.


Beurle, R.L. (1956) Properties of a Mass of Cells Capable of Regenerating Pulses. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London B 240, 55-94.


Wilson&Cowan (1973) A Mathematical Theory of the Functional Dynamics of Cortical and Thalamic Nervous Tissue. Kyberkinetik: 13, 55-80.


Amari (1977) Dynamics of Pattern Formation in Lateral-Inhibition Type Neural Fields. Biological Cyberkinetics: 27, 77-87.


More recent research in this area can be seen in The Journal of Neuroengineering.
