Engineers have developed ‘systems theory’ for understanding the behaviour of engineered systems, with sub-disciplines including information theory, control theory and signal processing. The extension and application of these tools to neuronal networks, called systems neuroscience, is in its infancy. This project aims to advance the theory of systems neuroscience, with particular emphasis on understanding the role of multiple feedback loops.
