In this paper, we investigate saddle-node to saddle separatrix--loops that we term SNICeroclinic bifurcations. They are generic codimension-two bifurcations involving a heteroclinic loop between one non-hyperbolic and one hyperbolic saddle.…

Seizure and synchronization are related to each other in complex manner. Altered synchrony has been implicated in loss of consciousness during partial seizures. However, the mechanism of altered consciousness following termination of…
We propose a new simple three-dimensional continuous autonomous model with two nonlinear terms and observe the dynamical behavior with respect to system parameters. This system changes the stability of fixed point via Hopf bifurcation and…
The appearance of infinitely-many period-doubling cascades is one of the most prominent features observed in the study of maps depending on a parameter. They are associated with chaotic behavior, since bifurcation diagrams of a map with a…

We investigate the emergence of complex dynamics in a system of coupled dissipative kicked rotors and show that critical transitions can be understood via bifurcations of simple states. We study multistability and bifurcations in the single…
Viscoelastic shear flows support additional chaotic states beyond simple Newtonian turbulence. In vanishing Reynolds number flows, the nonlinearity in the polymer evolution equation alone can sustain inertialess 'elastic' turbulence (ET)…
Interactions of inhibitory neurons produce gamma oscillations (30--80 Hz) in the local field potential, which is known to be involved in functions such as cognition and attention. In this study, the modified theta model is considered to…
Seizure activity is a ubiquitous and pernicious pathophysiology that, in principle, should yield to mathematical treatments of (neuronal) ensemble dynamics - and therefore interventions on stochastic chaos. A seizure can be characterised as…
We consider a model of a square-wave bursting neuron residing in the regime of tonic spiking. Upon introduction of small stochastic forcing, the model generates irregular bursting. The statistical properties of the emergent bursting…
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a common tool used to understand brain activities. The data are typically obtained by placing electrodes at the surface of the scalp and recording the oscillations of currents passing through the electrodes.…
The underlying dynamics for the electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from humans but especially epilepsy patients are usually not completely known. However, the ictal activity is claimed to be characterized by synchronous oscillations…
We study a system of dynamical units, each of which shows excitable or oscillatory behavior, depending on the choice of parameters. When we couple these units with repressive bonds, we can control the duration of collective oscillations for…
Epileptic seizures arise from abnormally synchronised neural activity and remain a major global health challenge, affecting more than 50 million people worldwide. Despite advances in pharmacological interventions, a significant proportion…
The degree of synchronization and the amount of dynamical cluster formation in electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are characterized by employing two order parameters introduced in the context of coupled chaotic systems subject to…
The brain is a high-dimensional directional network system consisting of many regions as network nodes that influence each other. The directional influence from one region to another is referred to as directional connectivity. Epilepsy is a…
