continuum model of cortical activity in which excitation and lateral inhibition spread over space, producing localized bumps and travelling waves.

In computational neuroscience, neural field theory refers to continuum model of cortical activity in which excitation and lateral inhibition spread over space, producing localized bumps and travelling waves. This meaning comes from Amari (1977) in Biological Cybernetics.[1]
