Neural computation is fundamentally dynamic, and these dynamics occur across a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, from neurons to networks to the control of behavior. In this symposium, we explore a range of questions in neural dynamics and learn about the dynamics of recurrent neural networks, the neural representation of sequences, and the spatiotemporal control of movement.
