The phase description is a powerful tool for analyzing noisy limit cycle oscillators. The method, however, has found only limited applications so far, because the present theory is applicable only to the Gaussian noise while noise in the…

Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors ---by either intrusive or noninvasive electrodes--- time and frequency variations and spectral content of voltage fluctuations or waves, known as brain rhythms, which in some way uncover activity during…
Driven by increased applications in biological networks and wireless sensor networks, synchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators (PCOs) has gained increased popularity. However, most existing results address the local synchronization of…
