The development of novel techniques to record wide-field brain activity enables estimation of data-driven models from thousands of recording channels and hence across large regions of cortex. These in turn improve our understanding of the modulation of brain states and the richness of traveling waves dynamics. Here, we infer data-driven models from high-resolution in-vivo recordings of mouse brain obtained from wide-field calcium imaging. We then assimilate experimental and simulated data through the characterization of the spatio-temporal features of cortical waves in experimental recordings. Inference is built in two steps: an inner loop that optimizes a mean-field model by likelihood maximization, and an outer loop that optimizes a periodic neuro-modulation via direct comparison of observables that characterize cortical slow waves. The model reproduces most of the features of the non-stationary and non-linear dynamics present in the high-resolution in-vivo recordings of the mouse brain. The proposed approach offers new methods of characterizing and understanding cortical waves for experimental and computational neuroscientists. A modelling approach based on high-resolution in-vivo recordings in mouse brain, reproduces features of the non-stationary and non-linear dynamics, including cortical waves.

- Existence and properties of solutions for neural field equations (2009, methodology): “In these cases, the technique of Green’s functions allows the derivation of PDEs for the neural waves u(x, t) assuming special kernels such as exponential, locally uniform or ‘Mexican hat’ functions [12, 15, 16, 19, 20].”
