Hi
A neural mass in computational neuroscience denotes a small amount of neural tissue, idealized as a single point in space. Usually, the equations for its dynamics are derived or constructed to represent the average activity in that tissue, so denoted by the term mean-field.
By contrast, a neural field is a spatially extended model, in a sheet or torus, for example, where the equations of the model represent states over time and space.
Also by contrast there are density-based neural mass models which do not construct the mean field, but the full distribution of states and its evolution in time.
TVB implements several mean-field neural mass models and a specific form of neural fields for cortical surfaces, but does not implement fully general neural fields nor density-based neural mass models.
Hope this helps,
Marmaduke

I could equally conclude that a neural mass does not exist beyond the observer
do you agree that what we are seeing depends on the state the thing is in andalso the state of the lens/viewer?
