Rhythmic behaviors in neural systems often combine features of limit cycle dynamics (stability and periodicity) with features of near heteroclinic or near homoclinic cycle dynamics (extended dwell times in localized regions of phase space).…

Phase response functions are the central tool in the mathematical analysis of pulse-coupled oscillators. When an oscillator receives a brief input pulse, the phase response function specifies how its phase shifts as a function of the phase…
Oscillators are ubiquitous in nature, and usually associated with the existence of an asymptotic phase that governs the long-term dynamics of the oscillator. % We show that asymptotic phase can be estimated using a carefully chosen series…

Regular firing neurons can be seen as oscillators. The phase-response curve (PRC) describes how such neurons will respond to small excitatory perturbations. Knowledge of the PRC is important as it is associated to the excitability type of…
The "Phase Response Curve" (PRC) is a common tool used to analyze phase resetting in the natural sciences. We make the observation that the PRC with respect to a coordinate $y\in\mathbb{R}$ actually depends on the full choice of coordinates…
