Analogue modelling an array of the FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators
The purpose of the paper is to show that analogue electronic modelling is an extremely fast technique compared to conventional digital computing, especially when solving large sets of coupled nonlinear differential equations. An array of thirty FitzHugh–Nagumo type electronic oscillators, modelling dynamics of the brain neurons, is considered. The decrease of time consumption by a factor of several thousands is demonstrated. The work delivers a perspective of how to implement convenient analogue models of complex dynamical networks
Destroying synchrony in an array of the FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators by external DC voltage source
A control method for desynchronizing an array of mean-field coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo-type oscillators is described. The technique is based on applying an adjustable DC voltage source to the coupling node. Both, numerical solution of corresponding nonlinear differential equations and hardware experiments with a nonlinear electrical circuit have been performed
Inhibition of spikes in an array of coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators by external periodic forcing
Damping of spikes in an array of coupled oscillators by injection of sinusoidal current is studied both electronically and numerically. The effect is investigated using an array consisting of thirty mean-field coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo-type oscillators. The results are considered as a possible mechanism of the deep brain stimulation used to avoid the symptoms of the Parkinson's disease
Autonomous Duffing-Holmes Type Chaotic Oscillator
A novel DuffingHolmes type autonomous chaotic oscillator is described. In comparison with the well-known nonautonomous DuffingHolmes circuit it lacks the external periodic drive, but includes two extra linear feedback subcircuits, namely a direct positive feedback loop, and an inertial negative feedback loop. In contrast to many other autonomous chaotic oscillators, including linear unstable resonators and nonlinear damping loops, the novel circuit is based on nonlinear resonator and linear damping loop in the negative feedback. SPICE simulation and hardware experimental investigations are presented. Fairly good agreement between numerical and experimental results is observed
