We report a noise induced delay of bifurcation in a simple pulse-coupled neural circuit. We study the behavior of two neural oscillators, each individually governed by saddle-node dynamics, with reciprocal excitatory synaptic connections.…
Phase synchronization refers to a kind of collective phenomenon that the phase difference between two or more systems is locked, and it has widely been investigated between systems with the identical physical properties, such as the…
We analyze the synchronization transition for a pair of coupled identical Kauffman networks in the chaotic phase. The annealed model for Kauffman networks shows that synchronization appears through a transcritical bifurcation, and provides…
We study the effect of coupling delay in a regular network with a ring topology and in a more complex network with an all-to-all (global) topology in the presence of impurities (disorder). We find that the coupling delay is capable of…
An analogy between crowd synchrony and multi-layer neural network architectures is proposed. It indicates that many non-identical dynamical elements (oscillators) communicating indirectly via a few mediators (hubs) can synchronize when the…
We consider a general swarm model of self-propelling agents interacting through a pairwise potential in the presence of noise and communication time delay. Previous work [Phys. Rev. E 77, 035203(R) (2008)] has shown that a communication…
We investigate the impact of contrarians (via negative coupling) in a multilayer network of phase oscillators having higher-order interactions. We show that the multilayer framework facilitates synchronization onset in the negative pairwise…
Rhythmic activities that alternate between coherent and incoherent phases are ubiquitous in chemical, ecological, climate, or neural systems. Despite their importance, general mechanisms for their emergence are little understood. In order…
This paper presents an investigation of the dynamics of two coupled non-identical FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons with quadratic term and delayed synaptic connection. We consider coupling strength and time delay as bifurcation parameters, and try…
The phenomenon of high-order ($p/q$) synchronization, induced by \textit{two different} frequencies in the system, is well-known and studied extensively in forced oscillators including neurons and to a lesser extent in coupled oscillators.…
Limit cycles are self-sustained, closed trajectories in phase space representing (un)-stable, periodic behavior in nonlinear dynamical systems. They underpin diverse natural phenomena, from neuronal firing patterns to engineering…
We study the influence of telegraph noise on synchrony of limit cycle oscillators. Adopting the phase description for these oscillators, we derive the explicit expression for the Lyapunov exponent. We show that either for weak noise or…
We experimentally demonstrate group synchrony in a network of four nonlinear optoelectronic oscillators with time-delayed coupling. We divide the nodes into two groups of two each, by giving each group different parameters and by enabling…

We apply the time-delayed Pyragas control scheme to the dissipative Dicke model via a modulation of the atom-field-coupling. The feedback creates an infinite sequence of non-equilibrium phases with fixed points and limit cycles in the…
Lateral inhibition resulting from a double-negative feedback loop underlies the assignment of different fates to cells in many developmental processes. Previous studies have shown that the presence of time delays in models of lateral…
Biological oscillators coordinate individual cellular components so that they function coherently and collectively. They are typically composed of multiple feedback loops, and period mismatch is unavoidable in biological implementations. We…
