Hi @EyistoA! I noticed your request for review and I can offer a few observations. Please take my comments with a grain of salt, as I am a relatively new editor; more experienced editors may have better comments. It looks like it's coming together nicely, but it's too technical for a non-expert like me to learn much about the topic. More specific comments below.
Lead. The lead needs to establish "What is it?" and "Why is it important?" I get the sense that you have established that to an expert, but as a non-expert, it's hard for me to grab onto something. Perhaps you could illustrate the concept with one or two very concrete examples - what type of neural network are you talking about and what is it used for? What is an excitable system? What is it a 2-D map of? The lead says "only three parameters" which seem to imply 3 is a nice small number, but again non-experts won't know what that number means or possibly even why fewer parameters is often desirable. Several well-chosen wikilinks in the lead could also help orient the reader. I'm looking at MOS:INTRO and noticing where it says "It is even more important here than in the rest of the article that the text be accessible."
Figures. The article has a lot of figures in comparison to the text. For an article about a map, that seems reasonable. But they need better captions that put them into context to a layperson. Also, the lead talks about a 2-D map, but the very first image looks like a time domain signal like EKG or spike train. So I'm left wondering how the map fits in.
Sources. There are only 4 sources, which seems like very few. I'm left wondering if I'm missing important parts of the topic. The second one appears to fall under WP:CIRC and probably can't be used.
Biggest suggestion: make it more accessible by expanding the prose with more examples for the layperson.
