This work is part of an effort to understand the neural basis for our visual system's ability, or failure, to accurately track moving visual signals. We consider here a ring model of spiking neurons, intended as a simplified computational…

How can precise control be realised in intrinsically noisy systems? Here, we develop a general theoretical framework that provides a way to achieve precise control in signal-dependent noisy environments. When the control signal has Poisson…

Understanding how local perturbations induce the transient dynamics of a network of coupled units is essential to control and operate such systems. Often a perturbation initiated in one unit spreads to other units whose dynamical state they…

Understanding how humans control unstable systems is central to many research problems, with applications ranging from quiet standing to aircraft landing. Increasingly much evidence appears in favor of event-driven control hypothesis: human…

A complex interplay of single-neuron properties and the recurrent network structure shapes the activity of cortical neurons. The single-neuron activity statistics differ in general from the respective population statistics, including…

Hippocampal neurons exhibit precise phase locking to network oscillations, but the computational principle governing this temporal precision is still unclear. Neural information is conveyed jointly by firing rates and spike timing, but…

In this report trial-to-trial variations in the synchronized responses of neural networks are offered as evidence for excitation-inhibition ratio being a dynamic variable over time scales of minutes. Synchronized network responses to…

Brain rhythms contribute to every aspect of brain function. Here, we study critical and resonance phenomena that precede the emergence of brain rhythms. Using an analytical approach and simulations of a cortical circuit model of neural…

In a series of two papers, we investigate the mechanisms by which complex oscillations are generated in a class of nonlinear dynamical systems with resets modeling the voltage and adaptation of neurons. This first paper presents…

Chaos provides many interesting properties that can be used to achieve computational tasks. Such properties are sensitivity to initial conditions, space filling, control and synchronization. Chaotic neural models have been devised to…

Several studies have shown that bursting neurons can encode information in the number of spikes per burst: As the stimulus varies, so does the length of individual bursts. The represented stimuli, however, vary substantially among different…

Complex frequency excitations, oscillating signals whose amplitude decreases exponentially in time, have recently been demonstrated to significantly increase the effective quality factor of mechanical resonators. In this work, we…

For the retrieval dynamics of sparsely coded attractor associative memory models with synaptic noise the inclusion of a macroscopic time-dependent threshold is studied. It is shown that if the threshold is chosen appropriately as a function…

In this work, we derive a region-based self-triggered control (STC) scheme for nonlinear systems with bounded disturbances and model uncertainties. The proposed STC scheme is able to guarantee different performance specifications (e.g.…

We examine the effects of stochastic input currents on the firing behavior of two excitable neurons coupled with fast excitatory synapses. In such cells (models), typified by the quadratic integrate and fire model, mutual synaptic coupling…

We consider a threshold-crossing spiking process as a simple model for the activity within a population of neurons. Assuming that these neurons are driven by a common fluctuating input with Gaussian statistics, we evaluate the…

Experimental evidence of intrinsic noise induced coherence resonance in a glow discharge plasma is being reported. Initially the system is started at a discharge voltage (DV) where it exhibited fixed point dynamics, and then with the…

The effects of spike timing precision and dynamical behavior on error correction in spiking neurons were investigated. Stationary discharges -- phase locked, quasiperiodic, or chaotic -- were induced in a simulated neuron by presenting…

Neurons fire irregularly on multiple timescales when stimulated with a periodic pulse train. This raises two questions: Does this irregularity imply significant intrinsic stochasticity? Can existing neuron models be readily extended to…

A discrete time crystal (DTC) is the paradigmatic example of a phase of matter that occurs exclusively in systems out of equilibrium. This phenomenon is characterized by the spontaneous symmetry breaking of discrete time-translation and…
