This chapter delves into essential concepts of cortical maps and competitive population coding, emphasizing self-organizing maps (SOMs) and key models like the Willshaw-von der Malsburg and Kohonen models. It covers tuning curves, network equations, and dynamic neural field (DNF) theory, including examples from the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. The discussion extends to the implementation of decoding mechanisms using DNF and presents simulations and additional readings for deeper understanding, making it a comprehensive resource for understanding these fundamental neural processes.
