Control of synchronous dynamics of chaotic bursts in ensembles of neuron-like elements

The mutual phase locking of chaotic oscillations in ensembles of globally coupled neuron-like elements is demonstrated. The possibility to control such synchronous dynamics by a periodic signal applied to an arbitrarily taken element is shown. An interpretation of the observed effects is proposed and the possibility of their practical use in neuron-like ensembles is discussed. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 48, No. 12, pp. 1049–1055, December 2005.
