(A) The structure of the dual network implementing SIR model. α cells (light green) implement the dual representation of the concentration vector. ${\overline{\beta }}^{*}$ cells (dark green) represent the reconstruction of the concentration vector. (B) Example firing rates of α cells. (C) Example of the sparse firing rates of ${\overline{\beta }}^{*}$ cells. (D) Comparison of the simplicial SIR model’s reconstruction (orange) and the concentration vector. (E) Correlation between simplicial SIR model’s reconstruction of the concentration vector and the true concentration vector for a range of stimulus and network parameters, K and p.
