Phase dynamics of noise-induced coherent oscillations in excitable systems

Abstract

Noise can induce coherent oscillations in excitable systems without periodic orbits. Here, we establish a method to derive a hybrid system approximating the noise-induced coherent oscillations in excitable systems and further perform phase reduction of the hybrid system to derive an effective, dimensionality-reduced phase equation. We apply the reduced phase model to a periodically forced excitable system and two-coupled excitable systems, both undergoing noise-induced oscillations. The reduced phase model can quantitatively predict the entrainment of a single system to the periodic force and the mutual synchronization of two coupled systems, including the phase slipping behavior due to noise, as verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The derived phase model gives a simple and efficient description of noise-induced oscillations and can be applied to the analysis of more general cases.
