Stochastic Resonance in an Extended FitzHugh-Nagumo System: the Role of Selective Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we present a study of stochastic resonance in an extended FitzHugh-Nagumo system with a field dependent activator diffusion. We show that the system response (here measured through the output signal-to-noise ratio) is enhanced due to the particular form of the non-homogeneous coupling. Such a result supports previous ones obtained in a simpler scalar reaction-diffusion system and shows that such an enhancement, induced by the field dependent diffusion -or selective coupling-, is a robust phenomenon.

An improved pseudospectral approximation of generalized Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations
In this research paper, an improved Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto pseudospectral approximation of nonlinear Burger-Huxley and Fitzhugh- Nagumo equations have been presented. The method employs chebyshev Gauss-Labatto points in time and space to obtain spectral accuracy. The mapping has introduced and transformed the initial-boundary value non-homogeneous problem to homogeneous problem. The main probl...
متن کاملVibrational resonance and vibrational propagation in excitable systems
We report the occurrence of vibrational resonance in excitable systems. Namely, we show that an optimal amplitude of the high-frequency driving enhances the response of an excitable system to a low-frequency signal. The phenomenon is confirmed in an excitable electronic circuit and in the FitzHugh–Nagumo model. In this last case we also analyze the influence of additive noise and the interplay ...
متن کاملStochastic Resonance for the Superimposed Periodic Pulse Train
Stochastic Resonance in a coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo equation is investigated. The optimal noise intensity and the optimal input frequency, which maximize the signal to noise ratio of the output signal, are studied numerically, and their dependence on system parameters and connection coe cients is examined. It is found that a network composed of six elements can separate a superimposed periodic pu...
متن کاملPattern Formation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo Model: Cellular Automata Approach
FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model is a famous Reaction-Diffusion System which first introduced for the conduction of electrical impulses along a nerve fiber. This model is also considered as an abstract model for pattern formation. Here, we have used the Cellular Automata method to simulate the pattern formation of the FHN model. It is shown that the pattern of this model is very similar to those...
متن کاملRoles of Fluctuations in Pulsed Neural Networks
Concerning the fluctuation which is observed in biological sensory systems and cortical neuronal networks, the roles of fluctuations in pulsed neural networks are investigated. As a model of a single neuron, the FitzHugh-Nagumo model is used, and two kinds of couplings of neurons are considered, namely, the electrical coupling which is often observed in sensory systems, and the chemical couplin...
