Noise-induced excitability in oscillatory media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A noise-induced phase transition to excitability is reported in oscillatory media with FitzHugh-Nagumo dynamics. This transition takes place via a noise-induced stabilization of a deterministically unstable fixed point of the local dynamics, while the overall phase-space structure of the system is maintained. Spatial coupling is required to prevent oscillations through suppression of fluctuations (via clustering in the case of local coupling). Thus, the joint action of coupling and noise leads to a different type of phase transition and results in a stabilization of the system. The resulting regime is shown to display characteristic traits of excitable media, such as stochastic resonance and wave propagation. This effect thus allows the transmission of signals through an otherwise globally oscillating medium.

Noise-memory induced excitability and pattern formation in oscillatory neural models.
We report a noise-memory induced phase transition in an array of oscillatory neural systems, which leads to the suppression of synchronous oscillations and restoration of excitable dynamics. This phenomenon is caused by the systematic contributions of temporally correlated parametric noise, i.e., possessing a memory, which stabilizes a deterministically unstable fixed point. Changing the noise ...
متن کاملNoise-enhanced excitability in bistable activator-inhibitor media.
We show that external fluctuations induce excitable behavior in a bistable spatially extended system with activator-inhibitor dynamics of the FitzHugh-Nagumo type. This can be understood as a mechanism for sustained signal propagation in bistable media. The phase diagram of the stochastic system is analytically obtained and numerically verified. For small-noise intensities, front propagation be...

متن کاملStochastic Bifurcations and Noise-Induced Chaos in 3D Neuron Model
The stochastically forced three-dimensional Hindmarsh–Rose model of neural activity is considered. We study the effect of random disturbances in parametric zones where the deterministic model exhibits monoand bistable dynamic regimes with period-adding bifurcations of oscillatory modes. It is shown that in both cases the phenomenon of noise-induced bursting is observed. In the monostable zone, ...
