Abstract
We investigate the collective dynamics of excitatory-inhibitory excitable networks in response to external stimuli. How to enhance dynamic range, which represents the ability of networks to encode external stimuli, is crucial to many applications. We regard the system as a two-layer network (E-Layer and I-Layer) and explore the criticality and dynamic range on diverse networks. Interestingly, we find that phase transition occurs when the dominant eigenvalue of E-layer's weighted adjacency matrix is exactly one, which is only determined by the topology of E-Layer. Meanwhile, it is shown that dynamic range is maximized at critical state. Based on theoretical analysis, we propose an inhibitory factor for each excitatory node. We suggest that if nodes with high inhibitory factors are cut out from I-Layer, dynamic range could be further enhanced. However, because of the sparseness of networks and passive function of inhibitory nodes, the improvement is relatively small compared tooriginal dynamic range. Even so, this provides a strategy to enhance dynamic range.
