contents We consider the long-time behavior of a population of interacting Hawkes processes on the real line, with spatial extension. The large population behavior of the system is governed by the standard Voltage-based Neural Field Equation (NFE). We prove long-time stability of the system w.r.t. traveling wave solutions for the NFE on a diffusive time scale, in the neutral case, that is when the speed of the traveling wave solution is zero: the position of the traveling wave profile becomes essentially Brownian on a diffusive time scale. We borrow here from the seminal work of Chevallier, Duarte, L\''ocherbach and Ost concerning the approximation of NFE by Hawkes processes, the existence result of traveling waves of Ermentrout and McLeod and from the stability result of the traveling wave profile from Lang and Stannat. We provide also similar results concerning the activity based NFE.
