Transient sequences in a hypernetwork generated by an adaptive network of spiking neurons.

We propose a model of an adaptive network of spiking neurons that gives rise to a hypernetwork of its dynamic states at the upper level of description. Left to itself, the network exhibits a sequence of transient clustering which relates to a traffic in the hypernetwork in the form of a random walk. Receiving inputs the system is able to generate reproducible sequences corresponding to stimulus-specific paths in the hypernetwork.

Cross-frequency synchronization of oscillators with time-delayed coupling.

We carry out theoretical and experimental studies of cross-frequency synchronization of two pulse oscillators with time-delayed coupling. In the theoretical part of the paper we utilize the concept of phase resetting curves and analyze the system dynamics in the case of weak coupling. We construct a Poincaré map and obtain the synchronization zones in the parameter space for m:n synchronization.
