Welcome. I am a PhD student at the Department of Physics at Florida Atlantic University. My area of interest is the interplay between connectivity and spatiotemporal dynamics in the neural field. We are trying to understand the mutual effects of local homogeneous and global heterogeneous connections on spatially continuous neural fields. It has been known that cortical areas are not only connected to their nearest neighbors, but also have patchy projections to far distant areas which inevitably affect the spatiotemporal dynamics of the neural field. As " toy model", we have used the real Ginzburg Landau equation with an embedded two-point heterogeneous connection. We study the stability of the delay differential equations obtained, and compute the stability diagrams. I can be reached via email: qubbaj@physics.fau.edu
