Neural dynamics can reflect intrinsic dynamics or dynamic inputs, such as sensory inputs or inputs from other brain regions. To avoid misinterpreting temporally structured inputs as intrinsic dynamics, dynamical models of neural activity should account for measured inputs. However, incorporating mea...
