Abstract

We continue our study of a field formalism for large sets of interacting neurons, together with their connectivity functions. Expanding upon the foundation laid in ([9]), we formulate an effective formalism for the connectivity field in the presence of external sources. We proceed to deduce the propagation of external signals within the system. This enables us to investigate the activation and association of groups of bound cells.
