We consider the effects of a Mexican-hat-shaped nonlocal spatial coupling, i.e., symmetric long-range inhibition superimposed with short-range excitation, upon front propagation in a model of a bistable reaction-diffusion system. We show…
In various neurological disorders spatio-temporal excitation patterns constitute examples of excitable behavior emerging from pathological pathways. During migraine, seizure, and stroke an initially localized pathological state can…
We propose a mathematical framework to systematically explore the propagation properties of a class of continuous in time nonlinear neural network models comprising a hierarchy of processing areas, mutually connected according to the…
We study the effects of nonlocal control of pulse propagation in excitable media. As a generic example for an excitable medium the FitzHugh-Nagumo model with diffusion in the activator variable is considered. Nonlocal coupling in form of an…
To gain insight into the neural events responsible for visual perception of static and dynamic optical patterns, we study how neural activation spreads in arrays of inhibition-stabilized neural networks with nearest-neighbor coupling. The…
Transient dynamics is pervasive in the human brain and poses challenging problems both in mathematical tractability and clinical observability. We investigate statistical properties of transient cortical wave patterns with characteristic…
A one-component bistable reaction-diffusion system with asymmetric nonlocal coup ling is derived as limiting case of a two-component activator-inhibitor reaction -diffusion model with differential advection. The effects of asymmetric…
Nonlinear wave formation and propagation on a complex network with excitable node dynamics is of fundamental interest in diverse fields in science and engineering. Here, we propose a new model of the Kuramoto type to study nonlinear wave…
A network of propagating nonlinear oscillatory modes (waves) in the human brain is shown to generate collectively synchronized spiking activity (hypersynchronous spiking) when both amplitude and phase coupling between modes are taken into…
We identify a new type of pattern formation in spatially distributed active systems. We simulate one-dimensional two-component systems with predator-prey local interaction and pursuit-evasion taxis between the components. In a sufficiently…
Based on methods of numerical simulation, the constructive role of nonlocal coupling is demonstrated in the context of wavefront propagation observed in an ensemble of overdamped bistable oscillators. Firstly, it is shown that the wavefront…
We developed a model of cortical computation that implements key features of cortical circuitry and is capable of describing propagation of neural signals between cortical locations in response to spatially distributed stimuli. The model is…
A universal mechanism of emergence of synchronized low frequency brain wave field activity is presented as a result of nonlinear coupling with flat frequency neuronal forcing. The mechanism utilizes a unique dispersion properties of…
The paper presents a novel approach for the analysis and control of a multi-agent system with non-identical agents and a path-graph topology. With the help of irrational wave transfer functions, the approach describes the interaction among…
We present a method to control the two-dimensional shape of traveling wave solutions to reaction-diffusion systems, as e.g. interfaces and excitation pulses. Control signals that realize a pre-given wave shape are determined analytically…
We examine traveling-wave solutions on a regular ring network with one additional long-range link that spans a distance d. The nodes obey the FitzHugh-Nagumo kinetics in the excitable regime. The additional shortcut induces a plethora of…
The onset of pulse propagation is studied in a reaction-diffusion (RD) model with control by augmented transmission capability that is provided either along nonlocal spatial coupling or by time-delayed feedback. We show that traveling…
We study a singular diffusive prey-predator system with nonlocal dispersal for which the carrying capacity of the predator is proportional to the density of prey. We show the existence of positive one-dimensional traveling waves connecting…
It has been reported that traveling waves propagate periodically and stably in sub-excitable systems driven by noise [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{88}, 138301 (2002)]. As a further investigation, here we observe different types of traveling…
We study excitation waves on a Newman-Watts small-world network model of coupled excitable elements. Depending on the global coupling strength, we find differing resilience to the added long-range links and different mechanisms of…
