The Nonlinear Dynamics of the crayfish mechanoreceptor System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review here the nonlinear dynamical properties of the crayfish mechanoreceptor system from the hydrodynamically sensitive hairs on the tailfan through the caudal photoreceptor neurons embedded in the 6th ganglion. Emphasis is on the extraction of low dimensional behavior from the random processes (noise) that dominate this neural system. We begin with stochastic resonance in the sensory root afferents and continue with a discussion of the photoreceptor oscillator and its instabilities. Stochastic synchronization, rectification and the generation of second harmonic responses in the photoreceptors are finally discussed.

Output Consensus Control of Nonlinear Non-minimum Phase Multi-agent Systems Using Output Redefinition Method
This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...
متن کاملDefinition of General Operator Space and The s-gap Metric for Measuring Robust Stability of Control Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics
In the recent decades, metrics have been introduced as mathematical tools to determine the robust stability of the closed loop control systems. However, the metrics drawback is their limited applications in the closed loop control systems with nonlinear dynamics. As a solution in the literature, applying the metric theories to the linearized models is suggested. In this paper, we show that usin...
متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
متن کاملNonlinear Stabilizing Controller for a Special Class of Single Link Flexible Joint Robots
Joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. Most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. The problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...
متن کاملStatistical and Dynamical Interpretation of ISIH Data from Periodically Stimulated Sensory Neurons
We interpret the time interval data obtained from periodically stimulated sensory neurons in terms of two simple dynamical systems driven by noise with an embedded weak periodic function called the signal: 1) a bistable system defined by two potential wells separated by a barrier, and 2) a FitzHugh-Nagumo system. The implementation is by analog simulation: electronic circuits which mimic the dy...
