This paper models the dynamics of a large set of interacting neurons within the framework of statistical field theory. We use a method initially developed in the context of statistical field theory [44] and later adapted to complex systems in interaction [45][46]. Our model keeps track of individual interacting neurons dynamics but also preserves some of the features and goals of neural field dynamics, such as indexing a large number of neurons by a space variable. Thus, this paper bridges the scale of individual interacting neurons and the macro-scale modelling of neural field theory.
