When two systems are coupled, the driver system can function as an external forcing over the driven or response system. Also, an external forcing can independently perturb the driven system, leading us to examine the interplay between the…

Using the FitzHugh-Nagumo system in the excitable regime, we investigate the influence of the L{\'e}vy noise properties on the effect of coherence resonance. In particular, we demonstrate that the L{\'e}vy noise can be a constructive or…
Nonlinear oscillators can mutually synchronize when they are driven by common external impulses. Two important scenarios are (i) synchronization resulting from phase locking of each oscillator to regular periodic impulses and (ii)…
We study synchronization in delay-coupled neural networks of heterogeneous nodes. It is well known that heterogeneities in the nodes hinder synchronization when becoming too large. We show that an adaptive tuning of the overall coupling…

The stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model with time delayed-feedback is often studied in excitable regime to demonstrate the time-delayed control of coherence resonance. Here, we show that the impact of time-delayed feedback in the…
In principle, while coupled limit cycle oscillators can overcome mismatch in intrinsic rates and match their frequencies, but zero phase lag synchronization is just achievable in the limit of zero mismatch, i.e., with identical oscillators.…
In assemblies of globally coupled dynamical units, weak noise perturbing independently the individual units can cause anomalous dispersion in the synchronized cloud of the units in the phase space. When the noise-free dynamics of the…
The mechanism of phase synchronization between uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators induced by common external impulsive forcing is analyzed. By reducing the dynamics of the oscillator to a random phase map, it is shown that phase…
We demonstrate that waves in distinct layers of a neuronal network can become phase-locked by common spatiotemporal noise. This phenomenon is studied for stationary bumps, traveling waves, and breathers. A weak noise expansion is used to…
Though the notion of phase synchronization has been well studied in chaotic dynamical systems without delay, it has not been realized yet in chaotic time-delay systems exhibiting non-phase coherent hyperchaotic attractors. In this article…
We study the collective dynamics of an ensemble of coupled identical FitzHugh--Nagumo elements in their excitable regime. We show that collective firing, where all the elements perform their individual firing cycle synchronously, can be…
