Synchrony and Desynchrony in Integrate-and-Fire Oscillators

Abstract: Due to many experimental reports of synchronous neural activity in the brain, there is much interest in understanding synchronization in networks of neural oscillators and its potential for computing perceptual organization. Contrary to Hopfield and Herz (1995), we find that networks of locally coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators can quickly synchronize. Furthermore, we examine the time needed to synchronize such networks. We observe that these networks synchronize at times proportional to the logarithm of … Show more

“…The temporal behavior of the model should also scale up well. Campbell et al (1999) recently showed that time to synchronization in locally connected integrate-and-fire neurons is logarithmically proportional to the network size. Since the dynamic threshold neuron used in the current model is equivalent to integrateand-fire neurons, we expect our model to show similar, manageable temporal scaling behavior as the network size is increased.…”

“…[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] considered more general networks of excitable coupling on oscillatory elements and [44,45] considered the role of inhibition in synchronizing such networks. A detailed study of the time needed for synchronization was performed in [46]; a general study of the effects of noise on excitable systems is in [47]. Further generalization of Mirollo and Strogatz's work to a population of non-identical pulse-coupled oscillators was considered by Senn and Urbanczik [48], who showed that deterministic networks without leakiness synchronize generically.…”

“…Repeating integrate-and-fire behavior between a constant threshold and a periodic base signal, the BN can exhibit various chaotic/periodic phenomena. On the other hand, integrate-andfire neuron models have been applied to many engineering systems including associative memories [2], image processors [7], and communication systems [4,8]. In the spiking neuron models (incl.…”
