Towards an experimental control of neural activity: The Wilson-Cowan model

The prospect of modifying neural activity in a principled way, could facilitate the understanding of brain functions and the development of medical treatments. To predict the dynamics that underlie the different brain activities, several neurobiological models have been proposed, either focusing on...
