A sheaf can serve as a tool to relate global versus local functions acting on some space. We begin by associating the basic definitions and measurable quantities of sheaves over finite graphs to the more general definitions of sheaves over topological spaces. We consider an instantiation of the Blue Brain connectome as a finite directed graph with nodes at each neuron. We explore new ways to characterize stimuli through applications, and we experiment with possible methods to organize response data from large populations of neurons.
