Which Network Connectivities generate a given Dynamics? I: Optimal Network Design — •Raoul-Martin Memmesheimer1,2, Lishma Anand1,2, Frank van Bussel1,2, and Marc Timme1,21Network Dynamics Group, MPI f. Dynamics & Self-Organization — 2Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, Göttingen

We present alternative perspectives towards understanding relations between structure and dynamics in neural networks.

First, can we design a network, e.g. by modifying the features of units or interactions, such that it exhibits a desired dynamics? Here we positively answer this question analytically for a class of networks of spiking neural oscillators [1, 2], by finding the set of all networks that exhibit a given arbitrary periodic spike pattern as an invariant dynamics. We illustrate the applicability of the method by designing networks that exhibit a predefined dynamics and simultaneously minimize the networks' wiring costs, i.e. are structurally optimal.

In a second contribution "Network Reconstruction" we present a method to infer the connectivity of a given network from its response dynamics to external driving signals [3,4].
