Revisiting the Foundations of Network Analysis

This paper presents a meta-modelling framework that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging and cataloging the connections between neurons in a network.

Abstract

Network analysis has emerged as a powerful way of studying phenomena as diverse as interpersonal interaction, connections among neurons, and the structure of the Internet. Appropriate use of network analysis depends, however, on choosing the right network representation for the problem at hand.
