Wavecybernetics in the developing retina

In recent neurobiological studies crucial wave activities have been observed during early development of retinal ganglion cells. The wave activities are suggested to play a key role in guiding the formation of orderly connections in the visual system. Wavecybernetics, a neural dynamics model based on quantum mechanical theory and characterized by the neural wave equation, represents a substantial advance in mathematical descriptions of such wave activities. The results of simulation of the neural wave equation are presented for the first time proving that our macroscopic treatment of retinal wave activities have common features with microscopic studies by neurobiologists.
