We characterize numerically the regime of anticipated synchronization in the coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo model for neurons. We consider two neurons, coupled unidirectionally (in a master-slave configuration), subject to the same random external forcing and with a recurrent inhibitory delayed connection in the slave neuron. We show that the scheme leads to anticipated synchronization, a regime in wh...

A system of ODE’s is used to attempt an approximation of the dynamics of two delayed coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo excitable units, described by delay-differential equations. It is shown that the codimension 2 generalized Hopf bifurcation acts as the organizing center for the dynamics of ODE’s for small time-lags. Furthermore, this is used to explain important qualitative properties of the exact dyna...

An application of the Exp-function method to search for exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations is analyzed. Typical mistakes of application of the Exp-function method are demonstrated. We show it is often required to simplify the exact solutions obtained. Possibilities of the Exp-function method and other approaches in mathematical physics are discussed. The application of the sing...

Abstract. The purpose of the paper is to show that analogue electronic modelling is an extremely fast technique compared to conventional digital computing, especially when solving large sets of coupled nonlinear differential equations. An array of thirty FitzHugh–Nagumo type electronic oscillators, modelling dynamics of the brain neurons, is considered. The decrease of time consumption by a fac...

Abstract: The FitzHugh-Nagumo is a well-known neuronal model that describes the generation of spikes at the intracellular level. We study a stochastic version of the model from a probabilistic point of view. The hypoellipticity is proved, as well as the existence and uniqueness of the stationary distribution. The bi-dimensional stochastic process is β-mixing. The stationary density can be estim...

We have identified the occurrence of chimera states for various coupling schemes in networks of two-dimensional and three-dimensional Hindmarsh-Rose oscillators, which represent realistic models of neuronal ensembles. This result, together with recent studies on multiple chimera states in nonlocally coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators, provide strong evidence that the phenomenon of chimeras may...

-Measurements of the normalized radar cross section (_o) made by the YSCAT nltrawideband scatterometer during an extended deployment on the Canada Centre for Inland Waters (CCIW) Research Tower located at Lake Ontario are analyzed and compared with anemometer wind measurements to study the sensitivity of cr° to the wind speed as a function of the Bragg wavelength. This paper concentrates on upw...

A gradient particle method is used to compute probability densities for processes with delay bifurcations that are sensitive to very small noise. The method is particularly useful for computing the probability density in the transition region, where asymptotic approximations may not be valid. For a one dimensional steady bifurcation problem and a two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo model we solve t...
