Emergence of multiple continuous attractors in coupled neuronal oscillators by inclusion of three-body interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate that networks of neuronal oscillators with three-body interactions can store multiple phase-lag patterns as continuous attractors, along which the degree of synchrony varies continuously. Such a mechanism could greatly enhance the encoding and retrieval of analog information in cortical neuronal networks. Keywords—Continuous attractors, Three-body interactions, Associative memory, Neuronal oscillators.

Emergence of diverse behaviors from interactions between nonlinear oscillator complex networks and a musculoskeletal system
To understand the relationship between brain structure and behavior in the general movements of fetuses and infants from a complex systems perspective, we investigated how behaviors emerge from interactions between complex networks of nonlinear oscillators and musculoskeletal bodies. We prepared a snake-like robot and some network structures in a physical simulator. The various conditions impos...
متن کاملTopological Data Analysis for Systems of Coupled Oscillators
Coupled oscillators, such as groups of fireflies or clusters of neurons, are found throughout nature and are frequently modeled in the applied mathematics literature. Earlier work by Kuramoto, Strogatz, and others has led to a deep understanding of the emergent behavior of systems of such oscillators using traditional dynamical systems methods. In this project we outline the application of tech...
متن کاملRobustness of unstable attractors in arbitrarily sized pulse-coupled networks with delay
We consider arbitrarily large networks of pulse-coupled oscillators with nonzero delay where the coupling is given by the Mirollo–Strogatz function. We prove that such systems have unstable attractors (saddle periodic orbits whose stable set has non-empty interior) in an open parameter region for three or more oscillators. The evolution operator of the system can be discontinuous and we propose...
متن کاملClassification of attractors for systems of identical coupled Kuramoto oscillators.
We present a complete classification of attractors for networks of coupled identical Kuramoto oscillators. In such networks, each oscillator is driven by the same first-order trigonometric function, with coefficients given by symmetric functions of the entire oscillator ensemble. For [Formula: see text] oscillators, there are four possible types of attractors: completely synchronized fixed poin...
متن کاملExtreme multistability: Attractor manipulation and robustness.
The coexistence of infinitely many attractors is called extreme multistability in dynamical systems. In coupled systems, this phenomenon is closely related to partial synchrony and characterized by the emergence of a conserved quantity. We propose a general design of coupling that leads to partial synchronization, which may be a partial complete synchronization or partial antisynchronization an...
