It turns out that my work in nonlinear dynamics directly maps to a close variant of the Integrate and Fire model. My model produces spatiotemporal patterns that resemble foam. I have to stress that this is the result of an exceedingly simple model of neuronal activity.
The plot below visualizes the voltage levels of a network of neurons. Yellow is high, purple is low.
I am wondering is these patterns are relevant to the computational neuroscience community. To this end, I am looking for literature describing spatiotemporal patterns in (preferably biological) neural systems.
I am especially interested in any work that proposes metrics that characterise such patterns since this would allow for a quantitative comparison with my results.
Forgive me is this seems trivial to you, but coming form complex systems theory I did my best and found nothing.
