Abstract

Abstract Objective. This paper aims to bridge the gap between neurophysiology and automatic control methodologies by redefining the Wilson–Cowan (WC) model as a control-oriented linear parameter-varying (LPV) system. A novel approach is presented that allows for the application of a control strategy to modulate and track neural activity. Approach. The WC model is redefined as a control-oriented LPV system in this study. The LPV modelling framework is leveraged to design an LPV controller, which is used to regulate and manipulate neural dynamics. Main results. Promising outcomes, in understanding and controlling neural processes through the synergistic combination of control-oriented modelling and estimation, are obtained in this study. An LPV controller demonstrates to be effective in regulating neural activity. Significance. The presented methodology effectively induces neural patterns, taking into account optogenetic actuation. The combination of control strategies with neurophysiology provides valuable insights into neural dynamics. The proposed approach opens up new possibilities for using control techniques to study and influence brain functions, which can have key implications in neuroscience and medicine. By means of a model-based controller which accounts for non-linearities, noise and uncertainty, neural signals can be induced on brain structures.
