Dynamical systems are a contemporary and promising approach to model the computation carried out by neural populations. This perspective hypothesizes that certain dynamical features underlie the computations performed by the system, and characterizing them enables an intuitive understanding of the system. One central feature is the fixed (or slow) point: the fixed points of the system and the linearized dynamics around them can explain important aspects of the computation that is being performed. While successful in many cases, fixed-points analysis has limitations. Finding fixed points is ge
