Wilson-Cowan model

The Wilson-Cowan model is a mathematical framework used to describe the interactions between two types of brain cells: excitatory and inhibitory neurons. These neurons communicate with each other, affecting overall brain activity. The model captures how these interactions lead to patterns of neural activity, such as oscillations or stable states. It helps researchers understand complex brain functions and dynamics, like how we process information or respond to stimuli, by simulating how these neuronal populations work together over time. This model is important in fields like neuroscience and cognitive science for studying brain behavior.
