Stochastic bursting in unidirectionally delay-coupled noisy excitable systems
arXiv:1902.06915 · doi:10.1063/1.5093180
Abstract
We show that \emph{stochastic bursting} is observed in a ring of unidirectional delay-coupled noisy excitable systems, thanks to the combinational action of time-delayed coupling and noise. Under the approximation of timescale separation, i.e., when the time delays in each connection are much larger than the characteristic duration of the spikes, the observed rather coherent spike pattern can be described by idealized coupled point processes with a leader-follower relationship. We derive analytically the statistics of the spikes in each unit, pairwise correlations between any two units, and the spectrum of the total output from the network. Theory is in a good agreement with the simulations with a network of theta-neurons.
