Индуцированная шумом перемежаемость и переход к хаосу в нейронной модели Рулькова

Abstract

A discrete neuron model proposed by Rulkov is studied. In the deterministic version, this system simulates different modes of neural activity, such as quiescence, tonic and chaotic spiking. In the presence of random disturbances, another important mode of bursting characterized by the alternation of quiescence and excitement regimes can be observed. We study the probabilistic mechanisms of noise-induced transitions from quiescence to bursting in the zone of the tangent bifurcation. It is shown that such transitions are accompanied by a transformation of the system dynamics from regular to chaotic. For the analysis of these bifurcation phenomena, the stochastic sensitivity functions technique and method of confidence intervals are used.
