Topic: Multi-Region Dynamical System with Impulse Response communication channels

Cognition arises from the coordinated interaction of multiple circuits with individual computational roles. While our ability to extract the dynamics underlying circuit computation from population activity recorded in individual areas, understanding how multiple areas jointly support distributed computation remains a challenge. Here we propose a novel multi-region statistical model which reflects a process level description of distributed neural computation. Specifically, the model includes local within-region nonlinear dynamics, potentially driven by task-specific inputs, and communication c
