Abstract
We develop a mathematical framework of continuum neural field theory as the beginning point for an analysis of the multi-modular global brain. Applications to cortical dynamics and learning in somato-sensory cortex, visual cortex and motor control are briefly reviewed. Extensions to a broader range of brain systems, including attention and emotions, are outlined. A deduction of structural equation models for the coupled neural modules is then briefly noted, with all neural variables acting as hidden variables in a well-defined manner.Keywords
